Science Week and the Science Fair

 Science week was an incredible and busy week for us. 

In Senior Infants we tried out some experiments in the classroom. We made a rainbow by placing skittles in water,  we blew up a balloon just using vinegar and baking soda and we separated salt from pepper using a balloon. 

On Thursday, the students visited the 3rd and 4th class Science Fair. These students had created stations with many different experiments. The senior infants visited the stations and learned about the different investigations taking place. The students were really intrigued and enjoyed the fair. 

Well done to the 3rd and 4th class students for their excellent displays!

Science Week πŸ§ͺ

The students in 3rd class got hands on this Science Week.  It was  a great opportunity to integrate science into many other subjects. For example, in history we learned the history of science and inventors. We also read about the transition of transport ‘From horses to horsepower’ 🐎 and inventors such as Marie Curie.  Having learned about the history of transport, we then imagined what the future of transport will look like. All students created excellent futuristic cars πŸš— . Well done to all!  In Art we experimented with colours, mixing primary colours to create new colours and shades. πŸ”΅πŸŸ‘πŸ”΄ We also created a lava lamp as part of a science experiment.  What you need: water, jar, vegetable oil, food colouring, steradent (or other fizzy tablet)!

Readaton & Character Day πŸ“š

February was a very exciting month due to the Readton. The students have been doing excellent reading and enjoyed activities such as buddy readying with younger classes. To mark the end of the Readaton, the students dressed up as their favourite book character. This was a great opportunity for students to discover new authors and genres they enjoy. 😊
