Science Experiments in Mrs Murphy’s Room

Mrs Murphy’s class were busy using their investigative skills during science in the weeks before the Christmas holidays.

Experiment 1: Which substance cleans money best; washing up liquid, lemon, vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil or baking powder? Lemon was the winner!

Experiment 2: Which material is the best insulator of heat; paper, tin foil or a woolly sock? The sock was the winner!

Liam MacCarthy Visits the School

We were delighted to receive a visit from the Liam MacCarthy Cup yesterday.

It was lovely to have the famous cup during Christmas week and it was a great reminder of the wonderful year the Limerick hurlers gave us in 2023.

An especially great occasion for both of our infant classes as it was their first time having the Liam MacCarthy Cup at the school.

County Football Semi-Final

Hard luck to our girls team who lost the county football semi-final to Monaleen in Mick Neville Park.

The game was played in difficult conditions and at half time Herbertstown were in front by one point. However, aided by a strong wind in the second half, Monaleen were able to edge in front and then held on for the win.

Well done to our team who were appearing in the county semi-final for a second year in a row which is a massive achievement.
