We have been reading examples of explanation writing in our english lessons and have read about various topics from the water cycle to how a hot air balloon works! We were then paired up and decided on a topic we wanted to know more about and wrote an explanation piece on our decided subject. Take a look at our work...

Baking Beautiful Buns in Room 1

29/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Today in Junior Infants we were very busy baking beautiful buns. First we got all our ingredients and measured them. Then we mixed all our ingredients together until the mixture was smooth. Next we used a spoon to put our mixture into bun cases. After that we put our buns into the oven and cooked them. When we took them out of the oven we let them cool for awhile. Then we melted chocolate in the microwave and put it on our buns with some sprinkles. Our buns were yummy. Here we are making our buns......

One World - Irish Aid Awards - Regional Finalists from Room 13!

A quote from the One World Irish Aid Awards Officials: The Our World Irish Aid Awards is all about bringing the world into your classroom… but we want to recognise the hard work of pupils who take part in the Awards all over Ireland by bringing the shortlisted schools together for events all around Ireland to celebrate your work. This year, we have both regional events as well as our annual national final in order to celebrate all the hard work of teachers and pupils engaged in the Our World Irish Aid Awards. We held our regional awards exhibitions the week of 19/05/14. The top 60 projects attended exhibitions in Sligo, Dublin, Limerick and Cork. Check us out on http://ourworldirishaidawards.ie/regional-national-finals/

In Fifth Class, room 13, we were absolutely thrilled to have been shortlisted to receive a regional award for our project entitled "Pangnono Pangnono ndi mtolo" (Little by little there is a bundle - old saying in the language of Cichewa from Zambia and Malawi) We researched the 8 Millennium Development Goals
and composed and recorded our own version of "Imagine" to highlight these goals. We had great fun researching, compiling and recording our projects and are so proud of our achievement. Our teacher, Ms Sheehan-Jones and three of our class mates, Colm, Cian and Natalija went to the Lime Tree Theatre (in Mary Immaculate College, Limerick,  pictured above left), to receive our award for excellence in global awareness on May 21st. :-)

As part of our science lesson we read about and discussed particular scientists who have made an impact on our world e.g. Thomas Edison who created the electric light, Percy Shaw who created 'Cats eyes' and Francis Rynd who created the syringe. We then discussed other well known scientists and inventors and how they have contributed to our world today. Take a look at our projects...
