Third class in Mrs. Rogers Room had a very interesting visitor today. It was Mack the snake. All the pupils enjoyed meeting Mack.

As part of Science Week the Mad Science professor visited our school. He did his magic science show for 5th and 6th classes. We really enjoyed it . The best experiment was when he used the  straw to make different musical sounds by cutting it.

Our 3rd and 4th class pupils enjoyed the Futsal Blitz in Cavan today.  Futsal is a variation on soccer played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. The school team were beaten in the finals by Baileboro National School. Thanks to Mrs. Rogers and Mr. Farrelly for organising a great day out!

This week was Science Week. In our class we tried out different experiments. This is what we did.

Electricity

Floating and sinking

Magnetism

We had great fun doing these experiments and learned a lot.
