Science Week 2019
We had a great week celebrating Science Week with lots of activities taking place during the week. Patrick Hunt from Heritage in schools came in and worked with children in 5th class. The children learned all about the importance of trees. The theme of this year’s Science Week was climate action and climate change. Children from all grades were busy working on science experiments and learning about some very famous scientists. The 6th class children went on a visit to TU Tallaght, where they learned all about the solar system. Children in other grades got to see examples...Sacred Heart S.N.S. was founded in 1977. At the moment there are about 260 boys and girls, from third to sixth class. We are situated at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, in Tallaght, about eight miles from Dublin City Centre.
