Its small rounded body and tiny cocked tail are distinctive, however it can be a surprisingly difficult bird to see - more often heard than seen .The wren is a small bird, widely considered a harbinger of spring and rebirth. It's also a symbol of the arts, because of its association with poets, songwriters, musicians, and anyone who writes or crafts written works. Wrens can be found across the UK in a wide range of habitats - woodland, farmland, heathland, moorland and islands. Most are found in deciduous woodland but it is least abundant in Scotland and northern England, with the smallest numbers found in upland areas. They are a regular visitor to most gardens.

After a while we stopped and tried to build a mars rover we didn't get around to doing it. After all we enjoyed it ever so much and hope to do it again soon.

STEM SHOWCASE

We held a show case of their recycled materials models project. It was an excellent opportunity for the children to explain their models and how they made them. They were also presented with prizes for their work. Actor Jermery Irons heard about the model of Kilcoe Castle and invited Jacob to the castle with his model to tell him more about it.  Fourth class presented their STEPS Young Engineers project to JB Barry Engineering a firm who are based in Co Limerick through a zoom call. It shows how the children are able to explain their work successfully through a video call if an inperson visit it not possible.  Any time we have carried out science experiments throughout the year the senior room will show their work to the junior room and vice versa. This creates great excitement as they love to show what they have learnt to each other.  The older children would visit the younger classroom to see their work on bridges and allow them to explain how they made them and what th...
