Building bridges in Room 15 – Engineering
Room 15 (5th class) were learning about balance and suspension with Ms. Ray.
We built bridges using spaghetti and marshmallows and made suspension with string. The bridges had to be strong enough to balance.
Maths stations in Room 15 – Capacity
Room 15 were busy learning about capacity in maths.
Ms. Ray made 3 stations and we each got to go to all of them.
There was an interactive game for measuring, making smoothies based on different capacities and estimating and measuring.
It was great fun.
High jump trials
all classes were invited down to Halla Cullen to learn all about the high jump.
Mr. Coghlan taught us all how to jump properly.
It was great fun and we hope to do it again soon.
5th class trip on a barge – Engineering
The 5th classes have been learning about the Grand Canal and were lucky enough to go on a barge trip this week.
We went onto the barge and learned how the locks work through engineering. The lock keeper showed us how the locks work.
It was so interesting.
Thanks to Ms. Hartigan for organising this brilliant trip.
