School Year 2019 - 2020
Welcome to our class page.
Welcome back. We've been doing great work since we have been back in school. Here are some of the activities we have been doing.
Science
We have been doing lots of fun experiments in Science since we came back. Here are some examples:
Quicksand: We looked at how quicksand works, and then we created an experiment to make our own quicksand and to see if certain things would get stuck in it when it is dry and when it is wet.
What happens to an egg in acid?: We got two eggs, and we put one in vinegar and one into water. We all predicted what would happen, and a couple of days later we found out. Check out below!
The eye: We learned all about the different parts of the eye, and how our eyes work. It was really interesting. We did experiments to see if we could change the way we seen things.

History
We love to do History projects. So far this year, we have done different projects in groups on Thanksgiving, the History of Halloween, and our latest one 'Life in the 1960s'. We watched the RTE programme 'Reeling in the Years' to see what life, tv, sport and music was like in the 1960s.
Geography
We love learning about new places. Most weeks, we use our computer room time to research a new country. We have made factfiles on lots of different places, including Italy, Greece, the UK and Australia.
Alongside Science, we have also been looking at ways to help care for the environment. Hearing about the bushfires in Australia made us a little sad, so we came up with lots of different ways in how we can help the planet, each other, and future generations.

PE & Sport
We love PE in our class, and we try to do PE twice every week, as well as playing lots of games at break time. We hope to get to do hurling or GAA this year, and lots of our class hope to be on the school football teams. We got a real treat in January when Gerry from Ballymun Kickhams brought in the Sam Maguire trophy to us.
School Activities
We also baked our very own class made cheesecake for the school bake sale. We used lots of different ingredients, and every one helped out with different parts. Some people especially loved crushing the biscuits! Our cake sold out really quickly so it must have been nice!
Our class took part in the Halloween parade this year. We all came up with really original ideas.
In October, we also went to see 'Abominable' on our DFL trip as a treat for coming into school, doing our work, and doing our homework.
