Holy Rosary Primary School
Science Week, 27 Nov – 01 Dec 2006
Holy Rosary Science week it has to be said proved to be a great success.
A variety of activities were held in the school each day which ranged
from information on healthy eating and exercise to descriptions of the
planets, to class based experiments. All classes for Junior Infants through
to Sixth Class were involved. ITT Dublin facilitated one of the days with
talks and experiments. The students received tee-shirts with the Science
week logo to mark the event. The objectives of the week were well met in
that it raised the student’s awareness of science in their environment; it let
them see that science could be fun and hopefully sparked an interest in
some that they can carry forward with them. Sponsorship for the event
was kindly provided by Wyeth Biopharma, Institute of Chemistry of
Ireland, International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineers and ITT
Dublin.
