Curious Minds is part of Science Foundation Ireland’s Education and Public Engagement Programme, which aims to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among students, teachers and members of the public. The programme originated as Discover Primary Science and Maths (DPSM) in 2003 with the goal of introducing primary school students to science in a practical, hands-on, enjoyable and interactive way. Since 2010 the programme has been run in conjunction with the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) Ireland which uses space to inspire and engage young people in science and technology in the world around them. Year after year teachers tell us that our primary school awards are a great way of involving everyone in science in the school.

Outdoor Play Awareness

 Let Me Be Outside 

The “Let Me Be Outside” campaign, spearheaded by Roscommon CYPSC, highlights that Outdoor play is essential for healthy childhood development, helping children build confidence, creativity, resilience, friendships, and overall wellbeing.

Research continues to show that many children are spending less time outdoors than ever before.

Increased screen time, busy schedules, traffic concerns, and reduced access to safe green spaces are some of the contributing factors to this.

By encouraging more opportunities to play, explore, and connect with nature, we can help create healthier and happier childhoods for all children.

Cycle on Wednesday

'Cycle on Wednesday' took place last Wednesday, 13th May. It was great to see so many children cycling to school and taking part in the event. We also had a very special visitor - 'Rossie To Aussie' Fergal Guihan, who spoke to the classes about his massive achievement in cycling all the way to the Sydney Opera House from Ireland over the last 2 years. The children loved hearing all about his adventures and had plenty of questions for him! Thanks a million to Fergal and to all the children, families and staff who supported the day and helped make it such a success. 

Astro Pitch

Work has commenced this week on our new astro pitch, which is located on our senior site. It will hopefully be completed within a few weeks. We can't wait to have this amazing space ready for all of the children to use. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our fundraisers to help make this happen.

School Hot Lunches

Our pupils receive daily hot lunches from The Lunch Bag. Please remember to send in their lunchbox every day so that children can bring home any leftovers and please ensure your child's name is visible on the lunchbox always. Your child still needs to bring a small snack for break time and a drink. If you have any queries regarding the lunches, please email info@thelunchbag.ie and they will be happy to help.

The Lunch Bag has recently teamed up with renowned psychologist, Dr. David Coleman. Please read the leaflet below for his expert guidance on fostering healthy eating habits in children.
