Making Teabags
In Science we investigated which paper makes the best teabag. We used filter paper, paper towel, cling film and tinfoil to wrap loose tea leaves in. We discovered that filter paper works best.
Cross Country

Leaf Trail
Mr Mc Corry brought us on a nature walk around the school grounds. We looked at the different types of trees and leaves. We identified the leaves with our leaf dial.
Gaelic Football
Having fun with GAA Coach Cian O’Dea.
Lemon Suds
In Science we made lemon suds with baking soda which is a base and lemon juice which is an acid. When mixed they react by bubbling up and producing invisible carbon dioxide gas. The bubbles are full of this gas.
Second Class 2018/2019
Killone Abbey SESE Trail
Nothing but Blue Skies promised so where in the world would you rather be? Killone Abbey and Lake. On 28th June 2018 Fifth and Sixth Class Pupils headed off on a stroll to the wonderful monument in our locality, Killone Abbey. We didn’t just look at Killone Abbey historically today, we also put our geography and scientific skills to the test. We collected and identified mini-beasts, some foliage samples, some wild flowers and completed some rubbings on various surfaces. There was a lot of work to attend to and we all got stuck in measuring, sampling and collecting. We enjoyed some of the local myths associated with Killone. It was a wonderful experience and we will bring our families back at some stage to teach them all we have learnt.
