Peace Prom in Salthill is a great success

Peace Prom Galway was held in Leisureland on Saturday the 18th of October.  The children of Cregmore collaborated with other schools from the Galway area and performed various songs including current hits and some golden oldies.  The songs included actions and dance moves.  Thank you to everyone who participated and well done to Ms Connolly and Mrs Healy for helping co-ordinate the event. 

Maths Week October 2014

Maths Week in Rang a Sé!

To celebrate Maths Week (13th-17th October) we left our math book closed for the whole week and instead concentrated on a range of maths board games and explored logic puzzles, we created 'Maths Masterpieces' in art and used our Surface RTs to play interactive maths games online. We learned a lot and had great fun whilst doing so! Here's the evidence!!

 

Cregmore NS Pupils attend Science and Technology Festival Launch, Oct 2014

A group of 20 students from fifth class attended the launch of the Science and Technology Festival this year in Medtronic as a result of a competition that Ms.Herwood entered and won for the school. We had a great time while we attended the launch. We got our pictures taken, some of us were interviewed by Galway Bay FM, we listened to some very interesting speeches and we also got to partake in the Cell Explorer's workshop where we extracted DNA from a banana. Below are some pictures documenting this visit.

ReelLIFE Science Video Entry- Oct 2014

This year 5th and 6th class came together again to enter the ReelLIFE Science competition which integrates ICT and Science. Groups from each class came together and worked cooperatively to research a topic relating to the food we eat. Such topics included: Food labels, Calories, Water, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Minerals, Vitamins, Fats, etc. Each group constructed a fantastic poster presentation based on their topic and the overall project culminated with the recording of our collaborative food study, entitled 'Food Glorious Food'. Have a look at our video at the link below!

6th and 5th class School Tour to Dublin

On Friday 20th, 6th and 5th class went on a school tour to Butlers Chocolate Factory. We first were given a tour by the kind staff around the factory. We were shown videos, pictures and machines that make chocolate. We then were given a chocolate bear and white chocolate to decorate it.We all had a great time in the factory. After that, we were brought to the café and shop in the factory and we ate our lunch on the green. Next, we boarded the bus and went to Liffey Valley shopping centre. We were put in groups and were given time to explore the shops. Finally, we boarded the bus for home, shopped-out-of-it and full of chocolate. We all had a brilliant time!

Pupils from 1st class enjoyed presenting their projects

Each pupil chose a country to research and enjoyed sharing this information to other members of the school community. Lots of the projects reflected facts on countries currently participating in the 2014 World Cup! Well done to all the boys and girls.
