Success for Primrose Hill in the Eason County Spelling Bee County Kildare! Onwards to the Leinster Spelling Bee. We are very proud.

Dear School Community Member,

Creating with Clay-Fifth and Sixth Class made very realistic clay heads and clay noughts and crosses board-games with very creative designs and playing pieces

5th and 6th Class have got through to the final 20 in the SEAI One Good Idea Competition. Their One Good Idea is to turn off your car engine when it is not necessary to have it on e.g. when you are pulling in and waiting to collect someone. As part of this project, to teach all the children in the school about climate change and our carbon footprint, children from 5th and 6th Class designed and made excellent and fun board-games. Have a look at our photos of them designing and then playing the games.

5^th Class attended the RDS Primary Science Fair on Saturday 13^th January with their project entitled “Can you make a wind turbine out of rubbish and power a lightbulb?” Well, after many false starts, plenty of experimentation and measuring, much failure and ultimately success, it turns out that you CAN build a wind turbine from rubbish. The children were exemplary ambassadors for their school as they proudly displayed and explained their project to the hordes of visitors at the fair. Much fun was had by all exploring the BT Young Scientists, the other Primary projects and the stands of the technology and environmental exhibitors. Well done 5^th Class!
