Use your imagination and draw a picture themed Cobh At Christmas Time! The creative and artistic talents of our pupils could be seen all around the school as they thought of their favourite places in Cobh at Christmas.
Sciath na Scol
Well done to our fantastic pupils who played so well in Sciath na Scol in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Friday and also to all the pupils, staff and parents who cheered them on and showed them such great support!
Science Week 2023
Plenty of experiments took place around the school during Science Week 2023. The pupils made lemon volcanos, explored absorbency and colour mixing, investigated static electricity and observed how plants drink water. They experimented with skittles to learn how sugar dissolves in hot water and even played a Buzz Game. Well done to all the boys and girls who thoroughly enjoyed their week as scientists!

STEAM Education
As part of Science Week 2023, we are delighted to have been offered the opportunity to work with STEAM Education supported by Stryker. The vision of STEAM Education is to inspire children to love STEAM subjects and to become the future generation of Scientists, Technologists, Engineers, Artists and Mathematicians.
4th class will take part in “Climate Action in a Box” using arts, communication and active citizenship to understand the part they can play towards a greater future.
5th class will participate in “Science in a Box” where they will explore the formation of the universe and the beginnings of chemistry from the Big Bang to present.
Later in the year, 6th class will take part in “Engineering in a Box” (supported by Gilead) to learn about the diverse fields of engineering, from shelter and infrastructure to biomedical and fun electronics.
Thanks to our generous sponsors in Stryker and Gilead for offering this fantastic opportunity to our pupils!
