Fourth and Fifth Classes attended an autumn workshop at Seed Savers on the 20th of October. It was a three hour workshop which involved apple tasting, apple juicing, seed saving and woodland activities.
As Biodiversity is the theme for our Green School Flag this year, the children learned about our native trees, seed dispersal, tree identification and the importance of trees. The themes were linked to the SESE and SPHE curriculum.
Have a look at one of the art activities we have enjoyed this month. We really enjoyed making our own characters. Next, we looked at the season of Winter and we made Winter collages and snowmen. We are getting very excited for Christmas!
As part of our Green School’s Programme, we were delighted to welcome some new friends to our school. In conjunction with The Salthill Aquarium we have been lucky to get an opportunity to host an aquarium. There are seven marine fish including a Gobi, Flatfish, Butterfish, Starfish, Hermit crab, Prawn and an Anemone. They will be with us until the 10th of December. We are monitoring stock on a daily basis, checking tank temperature and feeding the fish.
As part of our Biodiversity Project, 5th/6th class have introduced hens to Scariff National School. We have our own coop and enclosure for the hens. We feed them meal and the leftover scraps from our lunches. We collect their eggs each day and use them for cooking every week. Continue reading Hens Come to Our School
Many Thanks to the local Scariff Library for invited 5th/6th class to a creative writing workshop with the author Kim Wood. The children had lots of fun while creating their own imaginative stories.
