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.

Our Class Wins First Place in Art Competition!

  Our 3rd Class has won First Place in the Calf & Cuckoo Art Competition !   Their artwork, created as part of the Burrenbeo Trust’s place-based learning programme, was showcased during the Winterage Weekend Cattle Drive at Irish Natural Stone in the Burren. The judges were deeply impressed by the students’ knowledge of the Burren landscape and their creative expression of what makes our place special. This is a fantastic achievement and the children were delighted to hear the news! We’ll receive a class prize and the students’ artwork back in the spring, along with a school visit and field trip later in the year.

Science Week as Gaeilge

Third Class were invited by Ms. Burke to the Fifth and Sixth Class classroom to ask questions as Gaeilge about the wonderful creations made by the students. We asked questions such as “Cé mhéad seomra atá i do theach? Cén seomra is fearr leat? An bhfuil aon scáthán/seomra spraoi/áiléar i do theach? Inis dom faoi do theach.” Tá na daltaí i Rang a Cúig agus Rang a Sé iontach ag labhairt faoina gcuid tithe. Maith sibh agus go raibh míle maith agaibh as an gcuireadh .
