Science Week 2025 @ SNB

This year, Science Week Ireland celebrates its 30th anniversary with the theme “Then. Today. Tomorrow.” Science Week is a nationwide celebration of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration in science, showing how it shapes our everyday lives.

At SNB, we’re proud to be taking part!

🍂 Hands-On Science in the Garden

On Monday, our Gardening Team took advantage of the dry weather to gather more leaves for our leaf composter.

Why a leaf composter matters:

• Turns fallen leaves into nutrient-rich leaf mould

• Improves soil health and retains moisture

• Supports plant growth and biodiversity

• Teaches students about sustainability and natural cycles

📦 STEM Boxes in Every Classroom

Our STEM Committee delivered science boxes to every classroom, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore experiments and activities throughout the week.

🌳 3rd Class: Climate Resilience Project

3rd Class is continuing the GLOBE Ireland “Climate Resilience – Temperatures and Trees Project”, a citizen-science initiative connecting temperature measurements with tree observations to teach students about climate resilience.

🕵️‍♂️ 5th Class: CSI Workshop

5th Class will visit Clonakilty Library on Wednesday for a CSI Workshop, learning real-life forensic science techniques to solve an imaginary crime.

💡 All Classes Engaging in STEM

Every class at SNB will be taking part in STEM activities this week!

• Check back on our website at the end of the week for a full round-up of all the exciting science happening at SNB.

Science isn’t just something we read about — it’s something we explore, create, and discover every day. Let’s celebrate Then. Today. Tomorrow.
