World Kindness Day fell on Friday 13th November. Thankfully it was a very lucky day for us here in St. Mary’s!! Good deeds and kind words were clearly to be seen and heard. Pupils were kind to each other in class, classes partnered up and performed a good deed for each other, some classes had a socially distanced get together in the playground, others took the virtual route and zoom-called each other.

As part of Science Week 2020, we were very fortunate to be selected to take part in zoom calls with Dublin Zoo. Ms. Kiely’s 3rd class and Ms. Quinn’s 4th class both took part. They were delighted to visit Dublin Zoo virtually and got to learn about the different animals at the zoo, their habitats and ecosystems. Thank you to Anne and Caroline from Dungarvan library for making this experience possible.

What a busy and successful week, Science Week turned out to be! From creating and playing with robotic hands, to growing giant gummy bears, to tornados in a bottle, to learning about senses, to becoming hands-on scientists, all classes thoroughly enjoyed their experiences.
