Sugar
We looked at the amount of sugar we need to eat each day and what foods we can find it in. We learned that we need between 16 and 20 grams of sugar per day. We weighed 16 grams of sugar, put it in a clear plastic bag and then compared it to the amount of sugar in some popular foods. It was shocking to see that some popular foods contain the recommended daily allowance of sugar in one serving!

Where does the water go?
We spent a week learning about weather. We looked at the different types of weather and the ways we can describe the sky. We questioned where the water that falls in our school grounds goes and made predictions about it. We then explored, investigated and recorded and communicated our findings.

Garda Meabh came to visit and tell us about the job the Gardaí do. We learned about the role the guard plays in our community and how they protect our safety. Thank you Garda Maeve.

Welcome back!
Everyone is delighted to be back for work and fun this September in the junior room. We give a huge welcome to our newest additions to the school in the junior infant class while we are lucky enough to welcome new pupils to senior infants and second class.
In our first week, we learned about butterflies! If you ask us we can tell you all about them. What they look like, what they eat and how they come from cocoons and caterpillars. We made colourful butterflies in art and you can see them on our door.
Look at our new storage
