Ms Colum’s science classes began by examining the pumpkin (from investigating measurement, weight & circumference, counting number of seeds, looking at plant cells, genetics through variation of pumpkins) and then developing their artistic/craft skills they designed and carved out their pumpkin creations. The pumpkin flesh was then used in Home Economics cookery class to make delicious pumpkin soup which students and staff all got to sample. The seeds were also used up by roasting them in the oven and made a lovely high fibre snack. This cross curricular project linked in with aspects of wellbeing and our current green schools project.

Ms. Cooney’s 2nd year Home Economics class and Mr. Duignan’s 2nd year woodwork class collaborated in a craft project whereby the students firstly completed an embroidered piece in class and the frames were then made in the woodwork classes to secure the piece for display. Check out the finished results below.
