Discovery Primary Science/STEM
We have won the Discovery Primary Science Award for Maths and Science excellence for a number of years and we look forward to sending in our next application.
 
Our latest award was the Plaque of STEM as part of the Discovery Primary Science and Maths programme.  There were five steps in the process. Step one – Science, Step two-Technology, Step three – Engineering, Step four-Maths and Step five- Stem Show and Tell. (STEM)
 
During our Science Week all classes complete hands on experiments related to the topics of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.   All classes  set up a Science display and complete demonstrations, experiments and investigations for their Parents and members of the local community.  Past pupils from Scoil Aonghusa Senior have also been invited. Science Day is always a very enjoyable day in our school. In Scoil Aonghusa Junior we have a great tradition and love for all things Science!
 
See below for a variety of photographs to show case all the experiments , displays, work and learning that took place before and during our last Science Day.
