I would like to thank all who entered the Easter Baking Competition. The standard of baking and decorating was amazing. It was so difficult to decide on the winners as you can see from some of the pictures above.

I wish I could have tasted them myself but I’m sure they went down a treat.

Winners are posted on the pictures. Congratulations to you all. I will be in touch via email for your addresses?

Happy Easter ?

Stay Safe

Take part in the FlyForAutism Challenge this April

3rd April 2020 dcox

AsIAm – Ireland’s National Autism Charity, are challenging amateur aviators across the country to build their best paper planes this month to raise much-needed funds for World Autism Month.

The COVID-19 crisis has forced the charity to cancel all fundraising events planned for the month of April, which will have a serious impact on their ability to provide services and advocacy for the autistic community.

With the entire country stuck at home for the next few weeks, the #FlyForAutism challenge is a fun way to show your support – without having to travel far!

All that is needed is a sheet of paper and some imagination. Here’s what to do:

Text ASIAM to 50300 to donate €4 to AsIAm

Build your own paper plane. It can be as fancy or as simple as you like.

Post a video if its most impressive flight on your social media channels with the hashtag #FlyForAutism and #NenaghCollege and tag @asiamireland

Tag and challenge 3 friends to donate and make their own paper planes

Easter Science Challenge

3rd April 2020 dcox

During the Easter holidays I want you to pick 8 examples of science both inside and outside your home and record them. For example you can observe and discuss plants, appliances, lights, weather, electronics, animals, space (stars, sun, moon) etc.
When you pick your example I then want you to discuss the science behind it in detail.
Record your 8 examples by day in your copy similar to what I have done in the example below.
This is a fun activity and we will discuss your findings at the end of the first week back after the Easter break.
Use some time to act and think like scientists and most importantly, enjoy your break J
Day 1 (Ms. Hannigan’s science pick): is a rose bush growing towards the sun. This shows that plants are attracted to light and use light when photosynthesising. This is called phototropism. Photosynthesis is when plants use water and carbon dioxide in the presence of light and chlorophyll to make food (glucose) and oxygen.
