Maths measuring!

We have been learning about area and perimeter in 4th and 5th. We measured the small yard, trim trail and basketball courts in groups using metre sticks and trundle wheels! It was lots of fun. 

Laptops :)

We are very lucky in our school that we have laptops for us to use! For the last few weeks, we've been focusing on narrative writing. We all drafted and edited stories and then we got to publish them by typing them up on the laptops! It was so much fun. We get to use the laptops once a week! 

Ag déanamh pancóga...

Pancake Tuesday is upon us. Our last chance to have a sweet treat before the beginning of Lent. We wrote the recipe to make pancakes earlier in the week so that we were all prepared and ready to make them on Tuesday. We used eggs, flour, sugar and some milk to make our pancakes. We brought in different toppings to have with them which were yummy! 

Intercultural Week part 2!

Here are some

Pictures of us with our countries projects :) 

Intercultural Week

One of the most special things about our school is how diverse it is. In our class alone, we celebrate 9 different cultures! Throughout intercultural week, every class gets to research 2/3 different countries and make projects on them. Then, at the end of the week all of our hard work will be displayed in the Halla for everyone to see! The countries we did our projects on were Nigeria, Pakistan and Poland. Lucky for us, we had some experts on these countries in our class who helped us by giving us some extra information! We had great fun! We dressed up, sampled foods from different countries, learned new songs and listened to different types of music! 

Ceolchoirm na Nollaig

Lights, camera, ACTION! We're all ready to hit the stage to preform our Christmas play this year. It's called Mr. Partridges Amazing Preforming Troupe! We've put so much effort into practicing over the last few weeks. Our voices are rested and ready to sing beautifully on the stage! We hope to impress all of the other students, teachers and our families! We are also so lucky in 4th and 5th class, as our parents came in to help us make our costumes. They look amazing. Thank you all so much! We really appreciate all of your help making the costumes, and also helping us get them on and off safely on the day of the play. 

Science Week

We love Science in Muinteoir Claire's Class. This year we learned about different scientists, such as Copernicus, Eienstein, Marie Curie, and Issac Neuton. We also carried out some experiments! We were lucky that we had been practicing procedural writing during the week, so we were able to write out our experiments perfectly! 

The first experiment we did was how to make a lava lamp. We figured out that water and oil don't mix, and by adding an alka seltzer tablet to the mix, we created a lava lamp! We also added some blue food colouring so that we were able to see this clearly. 

Next, we wanted to prove that water travels up the stem in plants, to get to the petals of the flowers. To prove this, we got some beautiful white flowers and placed them in various food colourings. We left them for a few days and you will see the results in the pictures!
