Field Trip

April 2016

We left the school at 9.45 and walked to the shop.We wore hi vis jackets for safety.

Before we left the classroom we estimated how long and how far the shop was from our school.
It took 14 minutes to walk there and it was 0.6km or 600m from the school.

We did a questionaire and one of the questions was how much is a litre of petrol or diesel.

Each pupil had a section to investigate these children were looking in the confectionary

section.

These pupils researched aisle 4, it had drinks and pet food.
16.50 was the most expensive item in this aisle and it was dog food.

These pupils researched the diary aisle- milk was the most popular item sold every day.

At the cashier counter we ask the shop keeper lots of questions- we asked her about her security system.

Measure- Capacity

We arranged different containers in order, starting with the largest
to the smallest.

We had to work to a timer so we had to work effectively and as a team.

Gardening with Melanie

Using the fallen wood from around the school Melanie helped
us to make a bug hotel.

We put one near the polytunnel

One by the compost

Here are some of the visitors we hope will visit the bug hotel.

The bugs will help with decomposition.

Autism Awareness Day

As a class we discussed how children with autism may feel.

Two of our class mates have autism and were able to help us understand
how it can effect them.

Listening to our friend playing the piano

Science Experiment on Lung Capacity

Science experiment to measure our lung capacity.We had to blow through a tube into a bottle of water.

The pupils with a large lung capacity were able to fill the most or all of the bottle with air.

We measured the results and recorded them in our science copy.
It was interesting to see our estimation,( the person we thought would have the largest lung
capacity ) and the actual result differed.

Proclamation Display

Our class made a banner representing the Proclamation, it is part of our display at the front of the school.

Féile na hInse

Classes from 2nd to 6th competed in Féile na hÍnse in Ennis for Seachtaine na Gaeilge. We had lots of winners in each class level. Well done to all the participants.

Pancake Tuesday

We made pancakes on Pancake Tuesday! We used lots of different toppings.
