Izak9 Workshops
Franz from IZAK9 came to visit our school during science week. He showed the pupils, teachers and parents how to use the IZAK9 cubes. What a fantastic new mathematics resource we now have in our school.
Exercise and your Heart
In fourth class we have been busy testing our heart rates. Before exercise we tested children’s heart rates using the heart rate monitor. After the exercise we tested them again to see if there was any change in their heart rates. The heart rate monitor told us how many times their heart beat per minute (bpm). Here are some of the results we collected.
Results
Kalya Before exercise 96bpm
After exercise 120bpm
Oliver Before exercise 90bpm
After exercise 130bpm
Declan Before exercise 78bpm
After exercise 135bpm
Oscar Before exercise 150bpm
After exercise 200bpm
Conclusion
We found out that your heart rate changes after exercise. It beats faster. Oscar had a high heart rate before exercise and we know this was because he was nervous and excited about using the heart rate monitor. He was also doing a lot of talking at the beginning!!
For the next few weeks we are hoping to use the heart rate monitor before and after P.E every week.
Heart Rate Before and After Exercise
Today in our class we monitored some children’s heart rates before exercise and then we monitored it after exercise. We found out that your heart rate increases after you complete exercise. These are the results Name Before exercise After exercise … Continue reading

Science Week in St Clare’s PS
Science week is upon us and on Wednesday the 12th of November we will hold our annual Science Week Exhibition. Parents and family are invited to see all of the fantastic science and mathematics work that the pupils have been working on since September. This year the fourth, fifth and sixth classes are also entering the Intel Miniscientist for the first time. A judge will be attending on the day and will assess which class will go forward to the regional finals. Having seen some of the investigations prior to this I think that this is going to be the best Science Exhibition that we have held so far!
St. Clare’s Science Week Exhibition
Today in St. Clare’s PS we had our Science week exhibition. The theme this year was Every Day Science. 
You can find loads of resources on the Science Week 2012 website. The exhibition was a great success and we would like to thank all of the parents and friends that visited the school throughout the exhibition. Here is a list of the stands that were on display at the exhibition.
- Junior infants did materials and built houses from the Three Little Pigs story.
- Senior infants took every ones finger prints.
- First class pupils did the water cycle and also water safety.
- Second class
- Third class did magnets and completed some magic using magnets.
- Fourth class showed us model lungs and also how food colourant travelled up the stems of flowers.
- Fifth class did some interesting investigations into what food items contain starch.
- Sixth class displayed their wormery.
