Sixth Class kicked off science week by investigating how clean our hands really are. We timed ourselves, rubbing a slice of bread with our hands before we washed them and after we washed them with soap. We are still waiting to see any changes in the bread but are observing them every day! We investigated which liquids would affect the shell of an egg. We chose liquids that we thought would impact the shell; vinegar, ketchup, hot water and salt, deodorant and coca cola. We left each egg to soak in the liquid overnight and took them out after 24 hours. We discovered that the vinegar had peeled...

This month in 4th Class we are learning about the topic of ‘Transport’. In celebration of Science Week, we started off the week using a K’nex STEM challenge to create a hot air balloon model! We continued the week with another STEM activity and asked the question – ‘How do parachutes work?’ Parachutes need to be able to catch air inside them so we spent some time thinking of what materials we could use for our parachutes. Then we spent time designing our parachutes. Each group received the same amount of materials and time to complete the activity. We... 

We started off the month with some Autumn Art. We used autumnal paints for our colourful dot painting. They turned out so well and really brightened up the classroom! We had great fun designing and carving a pumpkin this month for Halloween and learning about the stages in which a pumpkin grows. We had a brilliant last day before the mid-term, dressing up and painting pumpkins! Happy Halloween from all of 4th Class   

In 4th Class for Maths this month we have been learning about Time. We made a life size clock to help our understanding of time on an analogue clock! In Art we drew self – portraits with a twist this year as we designed our own masks! This week we had our long-awaited Bike Day! We took part in activities out in the yard and talked about bike safety. Thanks to Paddy for organising!  

To celebrate European week of sport, all classes took part in a sporting challenge. Below are some of the photos from the Junior Infants challenge.
