Science Week Trip

On Thursday, Mrs Langton and Mrs Croke's classes set off on an exciting Science Week adventure. Our first stop was Dunmore Caves, where we enjoyed a guided tour deep underground. We saw impressive stalagmites and stalactites, and learned about the 700 bats that live there. We also discovered that Viking remains had once been found in the caves, adding a fascinating historical twist to the visit.

Next, we travelled to Castlecomer Discovery Park to take part in their Science Week activities. We began with a nature trail and a fun scavenger hunt. After that, we learned about the fossils discovered in local coal mines and even created our own fossils using air-drying clay. To finish the day, we investigated mini-beasts, using pooters and nets to carefully collect different tiny creatures.

It was a wonderful day filled with learning, exploring, and hands-on science!
