Starting Monday 23rd March Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach will be hosting a free workout aimed at kids LIVE on his YouTube channel.
With the schools closed and with us all spending more time at home, it’s more important than ever that we keep moving and stay healthy and positive.
Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.
The workouts will be fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved.
You don’t need any equipment, just tune in to Joe’s YouTube channel at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout.

6th Class, Room 5 Egg Drop Challenge
This week Sixth Class had to put their engineering caps on and complete the EGG DROP CHALLENGE!!
The objective was to design a landing craft that would protect an egg from cracking or breaking from a high fall. Each student had to design, build and test their landing craft for homework. They made them using a variety of materials, such as, show boxes, pillows, plastic bags and popcorn. Many students also made parachutes and wings to help their landing craft.
We had great fun testing them and checking to see whether our eggs ‘survived’ the drop. In the end, we only broke three eggs!
Have a look at some of our EGG-CELLENT landing crafts!
First Class Rescue Rapunzel From Her Tower!
During Engineers Week 2020 , first class were set the challenge of designing an escape route for Rapunzel. They used the engineering design process to firstly think about and then draw a plan of their ideas. After that they used some of the classroom equipment to build their ideas in groups. Take a look at some of our ideas and inventions!
Junior Infants observe the signs of Spring around St.Clare’s.
Junior Infants are learning all about Spring in Science and Geography this month. We are so blessed to be able to look out our classroom window and see the budding signs of Spring. There are daffodils, snowdrops, crocuses and lots more starting to appear. We decided that instead of looking out the window, we put on our coats and set off on a Spring walk.
We explored the natural environment around St. Clare’s and got to see all of the Spring flowers. Some of the flowers were in the early stages of growth and some had already blossomed. Looking at all the new flowers and all the colours brought us such joy. We even got an extra surprise when Kevin brought us to see some tadpoles. There were tadpoles hiding in the pond in one of our smaller garden areas in St. Clare’s. It was so much fun taking our learning experience outside and watching nature first hand.
Engineers Week 5th Class
5th class in Room 7 have been working hard in preparation for the Globe project. We are investigating air pollution around our school. We are waiting for the results of our investigation from the research laboratory. To help us with our investigation we decided to construct a wind vane and a wind anemometer. We worked together in groups to plan and construct our chosen project. We’re looking forward to using our constructions as part of the Globe project.
