Engineering week at Scoil San Eoin.

Children will be doing lots of fun activities as part of Engineering week. They will be designing and making marshmallow towers, they will make jelly and design a earthquake proof building that can withstand the shaking of jelly!!

All children will be participating in an engineering challenge as follows:

 

Design a car from recyclable materials or items they already have at home. The car should travel at least one metre and for JI-2nd class this car can be pushed to propel it  forward. However the older classes can choose an energy source to power their car eg. a balloon attached to car so the air from the balloon can propel it forward.

Our 6 week programme of IT Classes started on the 1st February and is now in the 2nd Phase. Our new computers that were sourced from our fundraising are being put to great use.

So far Ciaran is so impressed with all the pupils and has had to amend his lesson plans to a more challenging standard as the pupils in each class are doing so well.

Ms Nuzum's 1st class are currently covering microsoft word and our 2nd/3rd Class have progressed on to powerpoint.

Ms Fitzgerald pupils are currently learning how to design a website. The website is called 'The Monk Diamond''.

The programme is a big success and the children and really enjoying learning so much. We can definitely see the benefit for the future.

Grandparents Day

Happy-Grandparents-Day-2014-Images-Pictures-Wallpaper.jpg

 

 

 

 

Today's Grandparents day was a great success and we had a brilliant turnout, thank you to all the Grandparents that visited us.

To start the day all the grandparents were given nametags and divided into 2 groups for a question/answer session.

Our junior room read a lovely poem.

Our senior room are currently exploring the 1950/1960s period and this was spoke about. The grandparents gave examples of their first jobs, what fashion was like and what games & toys were around for them in that era. It gave the children a great insight into what life was like back then towards now.

We had tea/ coffee and refreshments which were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Rotation stations were set up with the children demonstrating Maths/Games/Arts & Crafts/IT & jigsaws - The grandparents were able to view all of this happening and speak with the children as they went along.

A special thanks to Tess Kenny who took the time to showcase her craftsmanship of knitting/sowing and crocheting - Everyone enjoyed this part of the day.

And finally a huge thanks to our Parent Reps who set up, helped out all morning and then cleaned up after everyone had left.

The day was a great success and a special Homework pass was given by the teachers for all the good behaviour!
