My project was called ‘Bubbles in a bottle’ and my question was ‘what quantity of food colouring will make the best lava lamp?’ You can see me explain my project in this video. I found out that 20 drops of food colouring makes the best lava lamp because it gives a better effect when the water is darker. Mini-Scientist – lava lamp from St Peter’s, Bray on Vimeo.

During the first term, our students from 4th, 5th and 6th classes worked really hard to prepare science projects for the Intel Mini-Scientist showcase. For all who didn’t get a chance to see the projects on the day, we have decided to hold our very first Virtual Science Show. Over the next month, we’re going to showcase our projects as part of our participation in the Discover Primary Science Award. We look forward to telling you all about our projects and reading your comments. Watch out for guest appearances from 2nd and 3rd, who were too young for the Mini-Scientist Showcase this... 

2nd Class had a great time presenting their class play ‘The Little Rascals’ in December. We picked the story because we love the film and Ms. Brennan wrote some lines for us and gave us parts. We wanted to have fun and have a story that would include girls and boys, and especially something that would be a reminder that we are the first class in St. Peter’s with boys and girls! Why not listen to our performance here? You should also check out our video of some of our characters. We hope you like it!

The most recent tournament we entered was the Coughlin Cup in football. Paddy is the one that enters us into the tournaments. Our school also enters local athletics competitions. Some of the boys have even won medals at cross country. We love to run and do relay running in the yard every week. During PE we play hockey, basketball, Olympic handball, bench ball, rounders, baseball, tennis and rugby. Our...
