Discover Primary Science and Maths
Bronnadh Gradam ag Kathleen Uí Loingsigh TD
Tá Discover Primary Science and Maths (DPSM) an clár náisiúnta chun suim a spreagadh san eolaíocht, mata agus innealtóireacht i measc páistí bunscoile. Cuireann na scoileanna a ghlacann páirt réimse gníomhaíochtaí eolaíochta agus mata i gcríoch sa seomra ranga agus cuirtear gníomhaíochtaí agus tionscadail eile i gcríoch freisin cosúil le turasanna chuig ionaid DPSM, cuairteoirí eolaíochta/innealtóirí a fháil nó freastail ar imeachtaí eolaíochta. Cuirtear gradam Eolaíochta agus Mata ar fáil do scoileanna a ghlacann páirt níos gníomhaí sa chlár agus a chuireann gníomhaíochtaí breise i bhfeidhm. Ta Gaelscoil Mhuscraí taréis an gradam seo a bhaint amach gach bliain ó 2008.
Discover Primary Science and Maths (DPSM) is the national programme to foster interest in science and engineering among children in primary schools. Participating schools carry out a range of science and maths activities in the classroom and also undertake additional explorative activities and projects such as visiting DPSM centres, attending/holding science events or inviting science speakers/engineers to the school. An Award of Science and Maths Excellence is available to schools that go beyond basic participation and carry out a minimum requirement of additional explorative activities. Gaelscoil Mhuscraí has been in receipt of this Award every year since 2008.

Turas Rang 1 go Lifetime Labs / 1st Class Science Expedition to Lifetime Labs
Thug Rang 1 cuairt ar na hoibreacha uisce i mí Aibreán. D'fhoghlaim na páistí faoi fhuinneamh, uisce agus dramhaíl i measc an-chuid rudaí eile eolaíochta. Bhí an turas seo mar chuid den chlár Discover Primary Science.
1st Class paid a visit to the old Cork waterworks experience at Lifetime Labs in April. The students learned about energy, water and waste and a whole range of other environmental issues. This expedition formed part of the school's participation in the Discover Primary Science & Maths programme.

Scoileanna Glasa & Discover Primary Science
Environmental Engineers
Mar chuid dár n-obair ar an scéim Scoileanna Glasa, áit atáimid ag obair i dtreo brat glas don taisteal, bhí roinnt eolaíochta agus mata ar siúl. D'oibrigh ranganna cosúil le innealtóirí ag dearadh fionnachtain don timpeallacht agus rinne baill don Choiste Glas suirbhé ar na páistí faoi mhodhanna taisteal iompair. Léiríodar torthaí an suirbhé seo ar ghrafanna.
As part of our work on our Green Flag for Travel we have been working as scientists and engineers. Rang 3 became environmental engineers designing an invention to help the environment. Our Green School committee carried out a travel survey and recorded the results on graphs.

Seachtain na n-innealtóirí / Engineers Week
Tháinig Brian isteach agas labhair sé faoi gach saghas innealtóir cáiliúil ó Éire.Labhair se faoina phost agus cad a dhéanann se gach lá mar innealtóir. Dúirt mé leis go n-oibríonn mo dhad mar innealtóir meicniúil. Feicfimid innealtóirí amárach freisin nuair a rachaimid ar thuras chuig Ionad Uisce Coireála Inniscarra agus damba ESB. Déanfaimid blogáil faoi sin freisin!
Brian visited our classroom and spoke about all the famous engineers from Ireland. He spoke about his job as an engineer and how he became an engineer. I told him my Dad is a mechanical engineer. We will see engineers tomorrow too when we visit Inniscarra Water Treatment facility and the ESB dam. We will keep you posted! Joshua (Rang 4)

Turas Eolaíochta / Science Trip 2014
Seachtain Mata - Céardlann 'Roicéadaí ag Rás' / Maths Week Workshop on Racing Rockets
D'fhreastail ranganna 3 & 4 ar chéardlann eolaíochta i gCaisleán Charraig Dhubh áit a d'fhoghlaimíomar faoi roicéadaí. Deineadh é seo mar chuid den chlár Discover Primary Science and Maths. Lá taitneamhach a bhí ann.
We attended a science workshop in Blackrock Castle Observatory where we made racing rockets. This was all part of the school's Discover Primary Science and Maths programme. An enjoyable day was had by all involved! See pictures below.

Turgnaimh Eolaíochta / Science Experiments

Do sheachtain na n-innealtóirí bhí na meánranganna gnóthach ag fiosrú fórsa. Dhéanamar crainn tabhall ag úsáid rialóir agus clipeanna agus ceann eile ag úsáid maidí líreacáin agus leaisteach - bhí comórtas eadrainn féachaint chuici ceann is éifeachtaí! Comhghairdeas dóibh siúd a dhéan sár-jab. For Engineers Week the middle classes were busy investigating forces in science. We designed two types of catapult - one with rulers and bull clips and another using lollypop sticks and elastic bands. We investigated which group made the most effective catapult. Congratulations to those that succeeded! |
