We were learning about capacity in Maths. We used various containers and measuring jugs to calculate half, quarter, three-quarter and whole litres and their equivalent measurements in millilitres. It was quite a fun (and wet!) lesson.
We worked with some materials to discover static electricity in Science and learn about positive and negative energy. It was showing how everyday items, once charged, can create a force and make your hair stand, move aluminum cans, attract paper and attract or repel balloons.
We moved on to learning about electrical circuits and built a simple closed circuit using wires, batteries, bulbs and paperclip switches. The girls also experimented to discover how the light could shine brighter.
We celebrated intercultural week and Seachtain na gaeilge with multiple activities. Here are the girls just before we head off on our St. Patrick’s day parade followed by an Céilí mór!
We worked with clay in Visual Arts and created some celtic design necklaces as well as coil pots to hold our jewellery in!
