AntarcticaWe have learned all about Antarctica over the past few weeks in Rowan class. The children learned that Antarctica is a continent and it is also known as the "frozen desert". The children worked in groups and researched various topics including penguins, seals, weather and the landscape of Antarctica. We also made penguins from clay during Art.

"Parents of Powerstown we need your help! Could you help us out approaching local businesses for prizes for our school raffle? All our proceeds from the raffle will go towards funding out swimming lessons next year. If you think you'd be interested, you can contact Cróna, Anita or Róisín in the room for a school letter of request. We'd really appreciate your help as we need all prizes by December 4th!"
This week was Science week. The Rowan class and the Birch class worked together on a Science trail and at Science stations where they learned about electricity and energy, with the help of some very enthusiastic parents! A huge thank you to those parents who came along. Each day we also learned an interesting scientific fact! Student of the week is ...
