Science Week 🧪

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 🚗 . Well done to all!

 In Art we experimented with colours, mixing primary colours to create new colours and shades. 🔵🟡🔴

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)!

Hands on Maths 📐

 Using hands on resources are a really important part of maths. They help us link maths problems to real life while also broadening our minds to find new ways to solve problems. By using manipulatives such as blocks, matchsticks, cubes, lollipop sticks or drawing on whiteboards, it helps us visualise problems that sometimes are hard to understand!

Art- Pointillism

 For the past for weeks we have been learning about the Supermarket in Aistear. We decided to link this with art and created wonderful pieces of fruit only using cotton buds and paint.  All the students did a fantastic job! This was new way to try out painting and art for the students.

Ardrahan Mausoleum Trip 📸

Friday was such a fantastic day that the students took a little trip down to the Mausoleum in Ardrahan. Firstly, this involved a little walk in the nice weather 🚶‍♀️☀️ When at the mausoleum the students looked at the different architecture and learned about its history.  It is great for the children to learn about their local history as well as history on a wider scale.
