Climate Superheros webinar at 11.15 on the 19th May!
Explorers Climate Change – Superheroes provides children with an opportunity to develop an
understanding about the Earth’s Climate System, learn about climate change, and the
challenges it brings.
Join the Explorers Team on the 19 th May, from 11:15am to 12:00pm, and discover the
connections between the ocean and our weather and climate. Explore the history of our
climate systems and how a changing climate could impact our ocean and marine ecosystems in
the future.
Perfect for 3rd to 6th-class students and teachers, this interactive session will explore the ocean
and climate relationship and how we can create positive environmental changes, to promote
our ocean and marine living things.
Ready to explore? Register today at
https://t.co/3Qnf3xgPrU
and join the Explorers Team on May 19th. Let’s all become climate superheroes together! 🦸🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

🔬🧬 Exciting news from our TY Biology and Second Year Maths classes! On Friday, Nov 17, our students embarked on a thrilling educational journey in Lab 2, participating in the Cell Explorers Escape Room. 🧩

Hosted in collaboration with Dr. Muriel Grenon and her team from @universityofgalway, this event was not just about fun and games. Students honed their problem-solving skills and even learned to use a micropipette! 🧪
