AVER-O-MAR SCHOOL SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS METEOR FALL

The seismic station installed at the Aver-o-Mar School Group’s headquarters recorded the passage and fall of the meteor that was spotted in the skies in different parts of the country at around 11.45pm yesterday, having fallen in the Castro de Aire area.

At our station, the sonic boom is recorded first, as it passes at the speed of sound, and then the waves of the impact are discernible. The bang was the ‘sonic boom’, i.e. the speed of sound being exceeded.

Remember that both the seismograph and the weather station broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can follow live the data captured by the dozens of sensors attached to the equipment installed at Aver-o-Mar Primary School. You can access the data from the school’s website (www.aeaveromar.pt), install the version for mobile devices or from the links below.

As usual, year after year, our Grouping has joined the Magic Firefly Campaign. And this time with the news that we had two campaigns.

 

In the first term, the “Magic Firefly Campaign 2022” ran from 15th October to 6th November, with the slogan “The real magic is what we do!”, calling for union and collective resilience and willingness to build and do different. The real magic lies in the small things we do for others, in order to have a more just society. The change we wish to bring about of a more caring and respectful world begins in each one of us.

 

All the schools in the Grouping participated in this campaign, and with the sale of 300 fireflies, 600 euros were raised.

3rd Term Results – 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th graders

By | Board, Highlights, News | No Comments

The end-of-term results for the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders are already available in Inovar Consulta.

The evaluation sheets are also displayed in the head school of the School Grouping, and we congratulate all the students, teachers, parents and guardians and all school staff for the successful journey this school year.

In general, we registered 4 students who failed. Two of these students in 5th grade, as well as the one in 7th grade, were held back due to late admission into the Portuguese school system.

 

For the classification review, the Administrative Rule no. 223-A/2018, of 3 August (article 37) is applied.

Aver-o-Mar School’s weather station now broadcasting online!

By | Clubs, Highlights, News | No Comments

You can now see the weather forecast for the current time and +24 hours!

In an entirely “in-door” work, this station is being developed by the Robotics Club of the School, under António Cunha’s supervision, providing already, on line and in real time, data concerning temperature, air moisture and air pressure.

Soon, data available to the community will be extended to include UV radiation values, wind intensity, speed and direction, pluviometric index, air quality, CO2 level in the air and visibility, with some graphic adjustments still being made.

Based on all this information, the site provides a forecast, adjusted to the historical values, which is an extremely revealing feature for the local community, given the update and reliability of the data.

The station is being developed to be powered by solar energy, a later detailed project.

To access the station data, click on the following link and then on the image that will appear in the new window Weather Station – Agrupamento de Escolas Aver o Mar (aeaveromar.pt)

 

You can directly access the data from the weather station, by clicking on the icon available on the site, on the top right corner.
