You may have noticed the new noticeboard outside 5th class focusing on their recent adventures in Design and Make. It’s all part of Ms Sexton’s course in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and as you can see from the Prezi – the students of 5th class had all of the good ideas in this lesson! Click on the title of the post to check out our Vines and see what happened when we tested them – watch Adam’s closely!

Baby T was back in today. We’ve been learning all about emotions and sleeping recently. He was so friendly! He is never sad. He is taller and heavier now. He loves to play with the toys and can keep eye contact! Gwen taught us a lot about sleep and how Tristan needs lots of it. We have looked at all of the emotions babies can feel. We feel them too! We are learning a lot from Tristan. See our photos in the video above and don’t miss our lovely Vines from T’s visit below!

On Monday St. Kieran’s visited St. Peter’s for the second time this year to take play a friendly football match. Both teams had children from different classes and a special mention goes to the girls on each team who ran rings around the boys! Kathleen and Kelly Anne for St. Kieran’s and Abbi for St. Peter’s played brilliantly. The result was a draw in the end with both schools winning one match each. The next time the schools will meet will be on Monday the 28th of April! We can’t wait for our next set of matches. Thanks to Paddy, the best coach ever! By the boys...

A couple of weeks ago, we were thrilled and excited to get news that we’d won a prize from STEPS for our work during Engineer’s Week. Sam, AaronG, LukeOB and Davy from 5th class had seen Scientific Sue in action at the Intel Regional Finals of the Mini-Scientist and they raised the excitement levels by telling everyone how cool her show was! You can check out her website here – we highly recommend her show! One of the coolest things about the prize was that we were allowed to invite other schools to join in the fun. The first session of the day was at 9.45.
