I'm not much for posting here but the lack of attention our secretaries & caretakers are getting around their strike action is crazy, schools remaining open completely undermines their position - basically says we can deal without ye all, if teachers striked in the morning

Absolute nonsense and insulting at that particularly on World Teachers' Day. When you're in a hole it's best to stop digging. Maybe @NormaFoleyTD1 should lock her shovel in an electronic pouch. #edchatie #edshareie
My op-ed today in @thejournal_ie about why I am providing funding to secondary schools for mobile phone pouches or other storage solutions so that students are no longer glued to their phones during the school day.

The annual science teaching survey is now open to all science teachers in Ireland as well, the data collected is used to form policy and compare to previous years @IrishSciTeach #ScienceEd smartsurvey.co.uk/s/tsts2024…
Putting feelers out - looking to do a 'be a lab technician' short course for my next Transition Year group after Easter - the idea would be to give them the skills needed to work effectively in the lab - focusing on chem any ideas/resources? @ScietechSmith #chemed

Reform of Leaving Cert science subjects risks giving ‘unfair advantage’ to pupils in private schools irishtimes.com/ireland/educa…
Love the use of several different types of coverings to demo friction - could be likened to different road conditions or different types of roads! 👏👏
Today students investigated how the surface of the ramp affects the distance travelled by the car when learning about friction. I opted for surfaces that were easy to pick up in mr price - bubble wrap, crepe paper & tin foil #jcscience #forces
Great fun was had by 2nd yr Science @Gortnor_Abbey today investigating Darwin's finches & beak adaptation in the Battle of the Beaks!
Looking forward to taking part in this years Safer Internet Day
📢Huge thank you to everyone who attended our Safer Internet Day Information Session this morning!
💡Lots of great ideas from schools, community groups, industry and stakeholders about how they can support the #SID2024 theme "Tech in Our World"!

Ireland is on its way to space! 🚀
@EIRSAT1, Ireland’s first satellite, has successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, from Vandenberg, USA ✨
🛰️ The satellite, designed and built by students from @ucddublin @UCD_Research under ESA’s Fly Your Satellite! Programme, will begin its mission in the coming weeks to study Gamma Ray bursts - the most luminous explosions in the universe.
Congratulations to the team for this amazing achievement 🤩🙌

I am OBSESSED with our ‘How to Steal Christmas’ instructions based on The Grinch 🎄
The children loved it and I’m so proud of how much effort they put into their presentation ✨
Thank you @chloef23 for the inspiration 🖤
