We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded our STEM award yet again, qulaifying for the top category – the plaque! Huge thanks to Ms. Whittle for coordinating and to the staff and students for their enthusiasm.
Here is the wonderful feedback we received:
Congratulations to all at Scoil Ghormáin Naofa on the fantastic range of STEM work going on across the whole school. Your log shows learners of all ages engaging enthusiastically. it is wonderful to see the scope of activity, covering hands on investigations, design and make activities, field trips, speaker visits, science engagement at a community level, with exceptional tower building creativity! The work you have done under each of the steps shows great creativity and understanding of the scientific method. There are lovely examples, including the design and make activity of the three little pigs houses, Minecraft coding program, Maths Eyes, and of course the wonderful Science Fair! We are very impressed with the application content, it is well labelled, thorough in its explanation, and the photographs capture the important aspects of activities carried out. By engaging with speakers and taking part in the National STEM weeks the school is providing opportunities for learners to see the relevance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to our every day lives and to meet people working in those fields. The work you are doing in developing learners skills is clear and there are no doubt some budding scientists and engineers in the school. Keep up the great work!
