Capacity with Room 11

This week in Room 11 we are learning all about Capacity. Today we made the most of the lovely sun and we went out to measure the capacity of different containers using non-standard units 🙂

What do you sphinx of our Egyptian Art?

This week the boys and girls of Room 13 designed a Sarcophagus for an Egyptian Pharaoh. We first planned our designs on paper before picking up our tools and setting to work. We used a template for the shape of the sarcophagus and then carved intricate designs. Once our clay designs were dry we then used paint to add even more detail. What do you sphinx of our work?!

Canal trip in Room 2

Room 2 really enjoyed learning all about the flora and fauna along the Grand Canal with wildlife expert Éanna ní Lamhna and investigating pollution in the canal. It’s cleaner than you’d think!

Communion preparation for the 2nd classes

Lots of children in second class are preparing for their Communion this month. After a practice in the church this week, room 1 were lucky enough to be given a tour of the church by Eoin. We learned lots! Thanks Eoin!

Kilmainham Gaol visit for Room 2

Room 2 really enjoyed a day out to Kilmainham Gaol with a guided tour around this historical building. We saw some of the cells where the 1916 rebels were imprisoned and the yard where some of them were executed. We were happy to enjoy lunch in some wide open spaces after all that confinement!

Static electricity in Room 4

Room 4 learned all about static electricity this week. We rubbed balloons on our hair to create an electrical charge and then had great fun creating crazy hairstyles! We learned that the static electricity enables the balloons to stick to the wall and pick up tiny bits of paper also!

We were ecSTATIC in science class today!

Electricity in Room 1

Room 1 had fun today exploring the concept of static electricity. Static electricity is the build-up of an electrical charge on an object. We used static electricity to make hair stand up, move a can without touching it, and even pick up pieces of paper using a balloon!
