Hairy Halloween Pumpkins
Students in Ms Colum’s Science Class carved pumpkins last week and noticed a couple of days later that furry white and black growths had begun growing inside the pumpkins. As, scientists, the first year students looked a bit closer at the growths under the microscope where they could identify parts of the fungus such as stolons, sporangiophores and spores. As students want to be as sustainable as possible, the pumpkins were fed to the birds in our wildlife area at the back of the school.
Climate Action Day
For Climate Action Day, students enjoyed playing a climate change card game, where they had to match climate change terminology with the correct sentence. This helped students to develop their literacy skills and made them aware of the part we all have to play in combating climate change. Second year students also engaged with the repair element of our 4R Action day for climate change by repairing their books so they can be recycled.
