​This week  we got our Active Schools Flag. On Monday 11th the  Active School inspector  visited our school. His name was Liam O'hAolaoin . We showed him how the pitch usually works. He was very impressed with what we do as an Active School. He  was delighted to award us  another Active  Schools   Flag. He gave us some helpful tips and we hope we can use them in the future. We are always looking for ways to improve. This is our second Active Schools Flag and will last us the next four years. We are very proud to receive  another flag

Science Week in 3rd Class!

22/11/2019

We have been learning all about electricity and sound this week in 3rd class. We carried out an experiment to see how a circuit works and we also learned how a switch works. We learned that static electricity doesn't travel through wires and we did an experiment to  prove this. We learned about how sound travels and we  carried out experiments to help us see how sound feels, how it looks  and we made our own 'weird' sounds using straws, plastic and balloons. Have a look at us experimenting in class!

Here in Room 10 we have been really busy celebrating Science Week 2019! 
We did some experiments in the class based on Capillary Action and how Iron Oxide effects various metals, we had a coding workshop using 'Microbit' and we had our own Science Fair!  Judging by the incredibly high standard of projects and experiments, it's fair to say that the future of science is in safe hands  here in Galway!
Take a look at some of the photos from the week!

Science Week in Room 3

First, we  predicted if the boat made of playdough would sink or float in the water. It floated, luckily, we then predicted how many passengers (peas) our boat could hold. It ended up holding over 60 passengers! After we made boats and passengers  from our playdough.

Floating and Sinking in Room 3.

15/11/2019

0 Comments

 
We  carried out an experiment to see which of these objects  would float or sink in water.  First we predicted what each item would do. We talked about things that we know float. We also had a discussion about  very heavy things, like anchors which do sink but big heavy boats float in the water too.  So this was a challenging experiment to predict but we guessed most of the correct answers and had great fun carrying out the experiment.
