Belgrove Senior Girls' School

Last week we celebrated Science Week in school. The girls explored the concept of floating and sinking through their Dancing Raisins Experiment.

We also had lots of fun exploring the process of ‘diffusion’ through our Skittles experiment. Each group had to create a circle of skittles on their paper plate. Here’s what happened when we poured warm water onto the sweets…

I was super impressed by all the hard work that went on at home also. The girls uploaded pictures & videos of some of the STEM activities they were working on. I think we most definitely have some budding scientists in our class! Well done girls ✨👏

Well done to Rebecca Caffrey who won our Green Girls Competition and Tess Corlett who won our Deputy Green Girls Competition last week. 👏😃

During the month of October we celebrated Maths Week in the school.  Each classroom had to design their own personal Maths door. The girls designed our Maths door using lots of colourful shapes monsters, numbers and maths symbols. They did a brilliant job! Maith Thú a chailíní 😃👏 

Through out the week we celebrated maths each day with a ‘Problem of the Day’. We played different addition and subtraction maths games using our dice and we went on our own Maths Trail around the school searching for different types of 2-D shapes, 3-D shapes, lines and estimating and measuring distances.

The girls also participated in their own Maths Scavenger Hunt at home.  They had to look for leaves, twigs, flowers and shapes at home and post their findings on Seesaw.  Well done girls for all your hard work this week ✨👍
