The RDS Primary Science Fair provides a unique opportunity for 100 primary schools from all across the country to display their class projects during the three days of the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. The Fair provides an exciting opportunity for these students to think about science in practical and fun ways and helps to develop their skills in communicating their interest and knowledge of science to others. This year's Fair promises to showcase the best of Ireland's primary school science projects. Drawn from the primary school science curriculum those in 4th, 5th and 6th class (Key Stage 2 in Northern Ireland) will have a range of projects on display reflecting both topical issues such as swine flu and climate change as well as more diverse themes such as stars, submarines and spiders. Each class group has been working actively on their projects since September and would be delighted if you came along to meet them so that they can explain more about the project work they have been doing. The RDS Primary Science Fair is part of the RDS Foundation's Science programme which aims to encourage young people to see science as provoking, challenging and fun. Further details are available at www.rds.ie/science.

Flatland is the ultimate in bike control and by far the hardest discipline to master in BMX . It can be likened to breakdancing, with the rider twisting and contorting the bike around their body while balancing, spinning or rolling.

It's distinct from other styles of BMX, being based on the ground rather than on ramps , with an emphasis on creativity, style and originality. Many riders opt to ride without brakes on their bikes to demonstrate true bike control as they link and mix tricks together.
