Science

We learned about different sounds and properties of sound in science. We made an xylophone out of water bottles and we made a telephone out of cups and musical pipes out of straws. Another day we learned about solids liquids and gases and how different materials are soluble or insoluble. We tested different things to see if the formed a solution or a suspension. 

School tour

We went to Celtic adventures on our school tour. We had a great day - we did archery, orienteering, sledding and loads of other games outside. It was a lovely sunny day and we really enjoyed ourselves. 

Weight.

We were learning all about weight and balancing different weights. We estimated what different things would weigh and then we found out what they actually weighed. We then used a balance and different items to measure sugar.

Field trip to famine arboretum in corkagh park.

We went on a field trip to corkagh park to visit the famine arboretum in corkagh park. It is a great place to visit and we are so lucky to have it close by. We even met some people who work in corkagh park who were planting new trees and they answered some of our questions. We looked at the national tree of Ireland which is an oak tree. Then we looked at some trees from all five continents of the world. We looked at the different shapes and types of trees they might be.
