Ms Duggan’s 4th class had a zoom call this week with Olympic gymnast gold medalist, Rhys McClenaghan, with Dare To Believe PTSB. It was great to see him speaking so positively about how he persisted with his Olympic journey, to become a gold medal winner!
On Wednesday 5th March, Ms. Duggan's, Ms. Carroll's, and Mr. Gallagher's classes all went to ESB Science Blast in the RDS to show off their hard work and dedication to ESB judges about their projects they created over the last few weeks!
Ms. Duggan's class explored osmosis, testing the question "Which liquid expands a gummy bear the most?". Ms. Carroll's class tried and tested out "Does the temperature of a football affect how far it travels?". Mr. Gallagher's worked together to find out "Is our class football made of the best material possible?". A great day was had and the judges were all delighted with their work! Well done, 4th Class!
We had lots of fun dressing up for World Book Day. Check the video and pics below.

The children made lovely bookmarks and really enjoyed meeting a wonderful Irish author.
