Ms.Lane's 2nd Class: Marine Litter projects

28/2/2018

0 Comments

 
We did amazing projects on marine letter and the effect it has on marine life and the environment. We learned lots of interesting facts, like where marine litter comes from and looked at ways to stop it from getting worse. Our school action day took place today for the renewal of our green flag, where got to look at and ask questions about other classes projects. Our school motto is: 'Don't throw litter in the sea, it's bad for the fish and me.'

Today we went out into the sunshine to sow seeds. We each got our own pot and sowed baby carrots, runner beans and cress. We watered them and have them left in the sunlight to help them grow.  We are looking forward to taking care of our pots and watching our seeds grow.

Today we had to say goodbye to our Aquarium!  Joanne came to First Class to collect it from us.  Joanne also brought lots of really interesting things for us to see.  She brought Shark's Teeth, Whale's Teeth, Shark's Skin, Lobster Claws, Dolphin Skull, a Whale's Neck Bone, a Star Fish Shell, a Mermaid's Purse and lots of other exciting things.  
We are very sad to see the aquarium go but we really enjoyed having here in First Class - we learned so much from it and we all did wonderful projects on it.

Junior and Senior Infants were very lucky to be picked to go to visit the Teddy Bear Hospital in NUIG today. We all brought our teddies to the hospital were we explained to the doctors what was wrong with our teddies. Some teddies had sore arms, legs, backs, heads and eyes. The doctors examined our teddies and wrote "pawscriptions" for us, we also brought our teddies for x rays and M.R.I's and then we brought our teddies to the Pharmacy to get some medicine. When our teddies were feeling better we went on the bouncing castles and some of us got our face painted.
