Engineers Week

In March, Ardrahan N.S. celebrated Engineers’ Week. Across Ardrahan National School, many activities and lessons took place centered around the importance of engineers in our everyday lives. Many classes took part in engineering-based activities.

During the week, students in 3rd and 4th Class designed and created engineering projects. The standard was exceptional. Students explained their project, how they created it and how it worked very well to the other classes and teachers who visited the projects on display. There was a prize-giving for winners and highly commended projects on Friday. Well done to everyone who worked so diligently on their projects. It’s safe to say, the future of engineering is safe in the hands of our fabulous students in Ardrahan.

The trees called birches have long been known for their beautiful bark.  N ative Americans used birch bark to make canoes, tepees, and moccasins. Today people use birch wood to make furniture, flooring, and plywood. The bark of all birches is characteristically marked with long, horizontal lenticels, and often separates into thin, papery plates, especially upon the paper birch.
