12/5/2016

0 Comments

 
We completed projects on 26 countries in Europe. Some of us made posters, a few of us made projects using Microsoft word and others made powerpoint presentations. We put a lot of hard work into our projects and we all learned lots of interesting facts about all the countries. For example did you know that the longest place name in Ireland is Muchanaghederdauhaulia in Co. Galway? And did you know that in 2008 Norway knighted a penguin? You can read some of our projects below. Enjoy!

We created simple circuits in Science. A circuit is a loop of wire leading from a power source to an appliance and back to the power source again. We saw how electircity flows along a path called a circuit by using a small bulb in a bulb holder, insulated wire and a battery to light the bulb.
​
In art we created our own drawings of flowers using pastels while drawing inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings.
