Making metre sticks - STEAM Activity
This week we are learning about length and area! Today we made our own metre sticks using one single page. We had to experiment with folding the page in different ways, cut and glue the strips of paper together and then measure it against a metre stick to make sure we had the right length. Lots of helping and teamwork was involved, well done everyone!

Science Week - paper tower challenge
Our super second class scientists were given a challenge at the beginning of Science week. They had to plan and work together to build a taller tower. However, they were only allowed to use paper and selloptape. They spent 5 minutes planning and then they had fifteem minutes to get working. On the first day some towers were sucessful but we soon learned that being a scientist and an inventor is tough work and it doesn't always work out. We gave it another go on Tuesday, chatted about what could be changed to make it work and voila, 5 tall towers were created. Well done everyone!!

Space Week Trip to Mary I
We had such a fun day on Friday 10th October when we went to Mary I to their craft maker workshop during Space week. We had a great time on the bus singing songs and telling jokes and we were a little early so we got to go for a little walk around the area and spot some native Irish trees that we have been learning about in Science too. We heard a lot about Space and the moon and how far away they are from us and we even got to hear about space inventions we see here on Earth everyday! We learned about geodomes and how they are used in Space and on the moon and then we put our science coats on and set to work on some scientific challenges. We had to created 3d cubes and triangles and once we mastered that we were set a mega challenge where we had to design, plan, explore and create our very own 3D geodomes. Take a look at our video from the day, we were extreamely busy bees and who knows, we might make it to space ourselves some day!! Thanks very much to the staff in Mary I…

We are really enjoying our time using the new school Chromebooks and we are learning so many digital skills. There is not stopping us now!! We have learned how to login to our Chromebooks, the importance of keeping our passwords private, we can find webpages our teacher tells us to find and our typing is getting really good. Our FAVOURITE thing by far though is Blooket, we love a bit of competition between ourselves!
Drawing lesson
We drew some self-portraits in our sketchpads last week. You could hear a pin drop with the concentration levels. We created some very unique and different pictures about our hobbies and interests.
