Experiment: Waterproof/ Non Waterproof

It was a good lesson whereby the pupils had to predict prior to testing as to items that they thought were waterproof or not. This lesson again continued the theme of water and weather for the month of January.

Wicklow Mountains National Park Outreach Programme

On Friday the 3rd of February, Scoil San Eoin had the pleasure of listening to Gillian and David from the National Park. This theme was "Bugs". The children got to see lovely pictures of spiders, butterflies etc and learn interesting facts about them. Also, there was stuffed animals for the children to pet and feel such as; Hedgehog, Badger and a Rabbit. Many Thanks to our guest speakers for such a lovely experience.

Clouds

All the children in the Junior Room have been learning about Clouds for the month of January. This theme was linked in with "An Aimsir". RI & RII got an opportunity to record clouds daily in the morning for a week and predict what weather we would experience in the afternoon. This geography outdoor trail was enjoyed by all. They had a Cloud finder to assist in naming the different clouds and a description of what a cloud should look like.

Junior Entrepreneur Programme gets started!!

The Junior Entrepreneur Programme is well underway in the Senior classroom. The pupils looked at what entrepreneurship is all about. They researched national and international entrepreneurs, the companies they set up and what services/products they provide. For the second stage the class has begun to look at the traits and characteristics of an entrepreneur and their own talents and characteristics, especially those which they can bring to a team and this JEP process. They had to come up with two about themselves and then one about each member of their team. A very positive experience! They began exploring ideas within their assigned groups and are now whittling down their ideas to one per group which they will present to the Dragons on Thursday the 9th!! Exciting stuff!!

Confirmation Enrolment Ceremony

The Enrolment Ceremony for Confirmation for 5th and 6th Classes will take place on January 27th at 2pm in the computer room. We would like to invite all parents/guardians to attend. This is the start of the pupils journey in towards receiving the Sacrament and parents/guardians will be involved in this preparation. However, as space is limited, numbers are restricted to one adult per child.

We will need a parent/guardian to do a reflection and another to light a candle. If you would like to undertake either of these roles, please contact the office. Pupils may go home straight after but parents with pupils in junior class will have to wait until 3pm to collect them.

Points to note:

Pupils need to have the name of their Confirmation sponsor by Monday 16th January and this sponsor MUST be over 16. Over the coming weeks, pupils should be considering their choice of Confirmation name. They also need to have their baptismal candle or, failing that, a suitable cream or white candle, for the ceremony of light which will be before the Confirmation.

Albs will be rented through the school and cost will be advised nearer the time.

Please keep checking the website as all further information will be available here.
