Sea Study Week at Carysfort N.S. (19th–23rd January)

 

From 19th to 23rd January, Carysfort N.S. celebrated Sea Study Week, during which children across the school enjoyed a rich range of sea-themed learning experiences, including:

  • Marine Biology Workshops for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Classes

  • Sea School Workshops

  • Explorer and Investigation Workshops

  • Art Workshops with Michael Cleary

  • Drama Workshops with Ciara Phelan

  • Yoga and Wellbeing Workshops with Claire Hayden

These experiences were carefully planned to support playful learning, creative thinking and enquiry, in line with the aims of the Primary Curriculum.

Throughout the week, children explored marine life, ocean habitats and environmental awareness through hands-on, interactive learning. The marine biology workshops encouraged scientific curiosity and questioning, while Sea School and Explorer workshops promoted investigation, problem-solving and collaboration.

The art workshops with Michael Cleary provided children with opportunities to respond creatively to the sea through a variety of media, developing imagination and visual expression. Drama workshops with Ciara Phelan enabled pupils to explore sea-themed ideas through movement, role-play and storytelling, while yoga workshops with Claire Hayden supported children’s wellbeing, focus and self-regulation through calm, sea-inspired movement.

Learning was integrated across SESE, Literacy, Numeracy, the Arts and Wellbeing, and classrooms reflected this rich learning through displays of artwork, models, writing and project work.

Sea Study Week was a wonderful example of how playful, child-centred learning can support deep engagement and enjoyment for all learners. We extend a sincere thank you to our Parents’ Association, whose fundraising made these valuable workshops and experiences possible.

Well done to all the children and staff on a vibrant and successful Sea Study Week 🌊🐚
