It was a very busy start to term 2 as some of the children from 4th , 5th and 6th Class worked on creating lemon powered cars for the Young Scientist Science Fair in the R.D.S. last week. After many trials and failed attempts the children finally had success and created a battery that was powered by lemon juice! The children had a lot of work to do; building their cars and batteries , testing and changing their findings and typing up their results. Then they put all of their work together to create a very professional looking stand at the R.D.S.  They also spoke to other children and the judges about the project. The children received excellent feedback from the judges, children and teachers from other schools.

We are so proud of their hard work and achievements and we would like to thank the parents who used their expertise to help develop this fine project and also a massive congratulations to Fiona and Aoife!

Well done everyone! You can see their trophy in the display cabinet!
