Science Matters!!

Ms.McDermot and her third class love discovering exciting science. We decided to experiment with materials and how they cause a reaction when mixed together. We had been studying Mount Vesuvius which is a volcano in Italy.
First we made a volcano with our friends. We did this by attaching a plastic bottle to cardboard and surrounding it with paper mache. Then we painted it together. The volcano was left to dry.

A few days later, we took the volcano outside. We caused a reaction in the bottle by mixing vinegar, baking soda , water and food colouring. We learned by mixing these ingredients it caused the volcano to erupt.
Our facial expressions were priceless. It made Ms.McDermot realise that her class are true scientists and don't hold back!!
Hope you like our science experience.

We are learning all about Place Value. We played some fun games on Friday to revise everything we learned this week.

Busy Bees

We have been very busy with our crafts ts in Room 18.

We made woolly winter hats here in Room 18, to remind us to wrap up in the cold weather!

Sports Day

We had a fantastic day at Sports Day today. We played lots of different games and took part in different races and activities. To finish the day off we were treated to ice cream. We are all really tired now! 

Lá Glas

To celebrate the end of Seachtaine na Gaeilge bhí Lá Glas againn. We got to wear something green to school and we ended the week with Tráth na gceist. Mary Jane & Marija's team came 3rd and Neirjelle & Caolín's team came 2nd. At the end of the day we made some headbands to wear on St. Patrick's Day next Thursday. 

Relaxation

We started our relaxation classes last week. We are loving it and so far nobody has fallen asleep!! Relaxation will continue for 5 weeks in total, taking place every Monday. Remember to wear your school tracksuit on this day.
