STEM Workshops in Action! 🤖🔧
Our STEM workshops this week were full of excitement, creativity, and hands-on learning! Pupils from Senior Infants to 3rd Class explored, experimented, and solved problems in a fun, interactive environment led by the Clever Cogs team. They had a fantastic time programming cars, building marble-powered machines, and exploring STEM toys, all while developing hands-on skills and verbal reasoning. It was an amazing engineering experience, and everyone had a blast discovering the world of robots, machines, and creative problem-solving!
Senior Infants Maple
Senior Infants Maple have been busy learning about animals that hatch and are born in Spring. We even had a special visit from Ms. Glynn’s tortoise, fresh out of hibernation! We planted tomato seeds and Savannah’s sunflower seeds, learning about the lifecycle of a sunflower. We also recreated Van Gogh’s famous sunflower painting using cupcake cases, brightening our classroom wall. We had so much fun performing our class assembly around the theme of spring during the week, sharing our learning and songs with our family and friends. To top it all off, we finally filled our Fuzzy Jar and celebrated with a pyjama party and teddy bear picnic with our buddies in the sunshine.
A busy week for Senior Infants Maple

Learning Through Art
‘Schools that integrate arts into their curriculum show improved student performance in maths, English, critical thinking and verbal skills’. Over the past fortnight, students have been displaying their learning through art, to visually communicate their understanding and depth of Key Learning Areas. Maple class have been busy learning about our community and those around us who help keep us safe.
