Room 7 were learning about electricity and how to make a bulb light by building a complete circuit.
They drew diagrams of their experiments.

Room 12 built a wormery using layers of soil and sand. The observed the worms creating their tunnels.
The pupils in Room 6 used Python to code the inputs and outputs of a raspberry Pi to record light levels using an LDR (light detecting resistor) and capacitor.
The light levels were recorded in Python and the code turned on and off an LED depending on the readings on the light sensor.
Room 7 investigated various materials and their magnetic properties.
They showed which materials were attracted and which repelled.
They filled in a table to show their findings.
Room 11 were learning all about different materials and whether or not they dissolve in water.
The pupils in Room 11 were learning about the conditions needed to make plants grow.
They learned about the need for light.
The pupils in Room 15 were learning how to create their own PowerPoint presentations to share their learning on The Burren, Co. Clare.
The pupils in Room 17 designed their own paper planes while learning about forces and energy. They used different designs to investigate how far the plane would travel.
They recorded the data on tables and used metre sticks and trundle wheels to measure how far the planes travelled.
The boys and girls in Room 15 were invited to UCD science department by Ben’s dad Tom. He told us all about the planets and the moon and sun.
We got to make our own rockets using air pressure and water.
It was such a great day. Thanks to Tom for organising.
Room 7 were very busy making clay coil pots.
They wrote and typed a procedure to follow to make your own coil pot.
Well done everyone.
