On 12 March a member of the INSS team - Tracy Walsh - visited Scoil Maelruain in Tallaght, a school that educates more than a thousand children, to give a presentation on the INSS and ocean currents. Amy, one of Rachel Kearns' pupils was there to greet Tracy at the front door to bring her to the classroom of about twenty five 11-12 year olds.
...
Tracy began her talk with a little information about the formation of the oceans, then moved on to the INSS and her own job within this project.This aroused great interest altogether.She finished with ocean currents and their relationship to the Greenhouse Effect.The talk was met with great approval by the children as it was specially prepared at their level and with an emphasis on fun.
At the end of the very interactive presentation the children presented Tracy with a card signed by each of them individually.Much appreciated!Tracy is happy to visit other schools to deliver similar presentations.Please feel free to contact her on 01 678 2806 or Enda Gallagher at 01 678 2834.
