Science and Technology Festival 2019
On 24th November, we participated in the “SciFest”
Science and Technology Festival under the theme of Climate Change. It took
place in N.U.I.G. on Sunday, 24th of November.
Our pupils, supported by teachers and
visual artist Veronika Straberger, presented their work and projects at a
stand. Some of the aspects of their stand included; a site plan for wildflower
planting to attract bees, an anthology of poetry written by our students based
on bees, the lifecycle of bees, electrical circuit quizzes based on bees, Bee
Scratch Programs designed by our pupils and more. We even had a beebox so that visitors to our stand could 'Tell it to the Bees'- any news they wanted to share with bees. There was great support and interest
from other schools, local communities and passersby on the day, and the children did
a super job informing everyone about bees and our ‘Buzzing Project’.
We were thrilled to be awarded as overall winners of
the Primary School category!
