Today, to finish off Science Week, we made Lava Lamps! It was really simple. We filled our jars with 1/4 water and 3/4 oil. Then we dropped in some food colouring. Finally, we broke up an Alka-Seltzer tablet and dropped it in. Then we watched the magic! ✨😲😃😍

Yesterday we got to try out the new outdoor classroom! We went on a ‘Living Things’ hunt and reported back what we found. We found trees, bushes, herbs, birds and plenty of insects! 🐜🐞🐌🕷

On Monday, our class watched a Forensics Workshop video that talked about crime scenes. One of the main things they use to identify criminals is their finger prints. Today we examined our finger prints by making prints on balloons and then blowing them up to see them ‘Super-sized!’

Today we made Rainbow Water with Skittles and warm water! 🌈 There were a few Skittles left over that mysteriously went missing! 😏😄

With our pods, we collected as many different types of leaves, flowers and berries as we could. We then took them back to the classroom to examine. We used a Native Irish Tree Guide to help […]

We then discussed some of the problems cyclists currently face, such as flat tyres, losing balance, uncomfortable saddles and the lack of a roof for shelter from the elements! We then decided to design and make our own bikes for the future that […]
