Maths Week Update!

Maths Week this year was as busy and fun as ever with lots of activities happening all around the school.  Junior and Senior Infants headed to the Phoenix Park for an adventure and got to do some Maths Trails too (photos to follow), while the other classes were busy carrying out their own trails around the school.  There was a lot of estimating, measuring, deciphering and counting going on everywhere.

In the Senior classes, the children took part in nail-bitingly tense Tables Championship finals, where the poor teachers had to keep going until they were down to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.  Well done to all the children who took part.
