Food, Fuel, Famine and some Project Maths - Scoilnet

 
 
 
 

National Famine Commemoration Day 17/5/2026

 
  

The Great Irish Famine (1845–1852) was one of the most devastating periods in Irish history. Over a million people died, and a further million emigrated, reshaping Irish society forever.

In schools, this day offers an opportunity to explore not only the historical facts but the resilience of communities, the legacy of emigration, and the social and political consequences still felt today.

What’s in Your Fridge? Exploring Nutrition through Labels

 
 

What we eat affects everything from our energy to our mood — but how often do we really read the labels on our food?

This spotlight helps students become food label detectives, learning how to decode packaging, compare products, and plan meals that fuel body and brain. It’s not about diets — it’s about smart, informed choices.
