Pupils enjoyed Science Week here in Presentation Primary and the theme was “Regeneration”. Lots of fun activities, experiments and learning took place over the course of the week.

Pupils took part in a variety of Science Stations where they tried lots of different experiments. A huge thank you to Mrs McCarthy for organising such a great event. Everybody really enjoyed it and the experiments were great fun.

Science Week is the national week of celebration of science with hundreds of events for people of all ages taking place across Ireland.

Our ongoing aim here at school is to raise our pupils’ interest and curiosity in Science so please take some time to ask about what your child has been learning and enjoying during Science Week.
