Mr Smyth’s Class learn about Ecosystems in STEM workshop

Posted on by

Today in their Try Five STEM workshop with Ana from TUD Grangegorman, the children learned about ecosystems and built their own terrarium- which they will bring home today.

A terrarium is like an aquarium, but for plants instead of fish. It is made in just about any glass container.

It is planted to look like a miniature garden or forest enclosed in its own little world. They had lots of fun!

2nd and 3rd Class had a lovely morning visiting Collins Barracks. We visited the Little Houses Exhibition and were delighted to see the fabulous artwork of both past and present students. We are all very proud of Manase, whose work showcases in the exhibition.
