Ms. Duggan's 4th Class have been using the Chromebooks to explore coding and programming through a programme called Scratch! This week is Clean Air Week. Ms Crosse’s 2nd class carried out an idling survey on the cars around the school with Jennifer from Green Schools Ireland. We used balloons to see how we breathe and why it is so important to have clean air to breathe in! We would like to sincerely thank the "Pakistani Golfers Ireland" for their incredible generosity in donating €10,000 to our school.
These funds will be used to provide much needed numeracy and literacy resources for the children of St. Laurence's. https://www.irishgolfdesk.com/news-files/2024/11/18/pakistani-golfers-ireland-raise-10000-for-st-laurences-ns-at-annual-pakistan-golf-cup We recently had our November assembly, where we awarded our certificates and Senior Infants & 3rd Class performed for the school. We were very lucky to be able to invite Darragh Greene back to our school to discuss the recent Olympic, where he represented Ireland in swimming. Go raibh maith agat. Our 6th Classes were busy with artists Marie and Masha creating nature collage posters that will be installed in Seagrange Park in the coming weeks. They were very creative and interesting! First class had great fun this week exploring 3D shapes. They worked very well in their groups building a cube out of lollipop sticks and clay! Ms Fahey’s 6th class were exploring circuits with batteries, wires, lightbulbs and switches! They also explored insulators and conductors. What bright sparks! Last Friday we celebrated Odd Socks Day to finish off Anti-Bullying Week. Things might seem different or odd to us but that's OK. A scientist from ‘Anyone 4 Science’ performed a lovely workshop for 4th class this morning. They had a fantastic morning learning all about electricity and batteries. They learned all about voltage, circuits and conductors. The children even got to test and create some circuits and made batteries using tin foil, lemon juice, cardboard and coins. 2nd class created masks after a brilliant talk on myths and legends. Thanks to Sarah from the Heritage Council for the wonderful afternoon. The Junior Building have been enjoying gymnastics on Wednesdays with Hannah from Arabian Gymnastics Baldoyle. First Class had some Halloween fun mixing materials in science this week. The witches and wizards cast some spooky spells. They mixed vinegar, baking powder and green food colouring together, and watched it bubble and fizz into a smokey potion!
COngratulations to our girls' football team who won their final in Croke Park on Tuesday 22nd Oct. A special thanks to Mark from Na Dubh Ghall who assisted Ms. Walsh & Ms. Dowling with the trainings. Many thanks for parents who gave lifts during the group stages and knock-out stages also.
