Sixth Class Blog
Science Magnetic Powered Boats Challenge!
Friday 1st December
Science – This week 6th class were learning about the ‘Properties and Characteristics of Material’. We learned about the composition of air, and the different layers of the atmosphere. We learned about the three states of matter – Solid, Liquid and Gas.
To demonstrate, the girls participated in an experiment, where they made Ice-Cream!! This was a fun group activity, which involved some very cold hands, but resulted in very tasty ice-cream! The liquid (cream and milk) changed into a solid (ice-cream). And the solid (ice) changed into a liquid (water). The girls will be writing up the experiment next week and we will add it to the blog, if anyone would like to try it at home.

Friday 24th November
Drama / Music – The girls got their parts of the annual Christmas play “Hey ewe!”. Rehearsals have begun!
Art – The girls were busy with pliers and wire this week, as they started their Art Construction projects. It took some patience and teamwork to work with the wire and cut, mould and attach parts to make their 3D sculptures take shape.
History – Through the use of our books and video clips, we learned about Nomadic tribes from around the world e.g. The Mongols, The San, The Aborigine and The Irish Traveller.
