October STEM Focus (5th & 6th Class)
The STEM focus for 5th and 6th Class in October was Maths. The children researched different mathematicians and learned about their famous discoveries. The children worked with a partner to create posters for displaying the information they researched. They learned about Albert Einstein, Joseph Fourier, Grace Hopper, Florence Nightingale, Evelyn Boyd Granville, Paul Erdos, Hypatia of Alexandria, Stephen Hawking, Nikola Tesla and Ada Lovelace.
Maths Week also fell during the month of October and 5th and 6th Class designed some fun Maths questions for their buddies in Junior and Senior Infants. 5th and 6th Class then took the buddies on a Maths Trail around the school and in the yard to answer the Maths questions in their booklets, which everyone had great fun doing!
