It is great to be back in school after almost 6 months off! We have been getting to know each other once again and getting back into school life with lots of revision and catching up… The children told me all about what has been a strange Summer break in a writing exercise…
We also wrote about ourselves in English in these hot air balloons…
In History, we created “Personal Timelines” with details of key milestones in our lives and our hopes for various personal events in the future…
We also read about “The Brown Bull of Cooley” and depicted our understanding of the story in cartoon format….
In Science, we learned about “The Body: The Inside” and learned all about organs, their functions, bones, our senses and our teeth. We had fun completing an experiment using eggs. Egg shells are made from the same material that teeth are so we investigated which drinks were best for our teeth. We hard-boiled 5 eggs and placed them in various cups filled with water, milk, orange juice, cola and diet cola. We left the eggs for a week and predicted what would happen…Our experiment concluded that water was the best option for our teeth! Most of the other drinks, stained the egg or eroded the surface of the egg because of the sugar content in the drinks. Here are some pictures of our experiment…
In Gaeilge, we focused on the topic of “Mé Féin” and made bunting with details of our favourite food, subjects and hobbies…
In Visual Arts, we created “Silhouettes” filled with pictures that show that we are all unique and special in our own way…
We also painted some pictures…….
We have also been busy discussing the topic of “Autumn” in most subject areas. We wrote acrostic poems…
We also created “An Autumnal Scene” using paint and glittery sequins…
We also created Autumn Scenes using warm and cool colours….
Well done on a great month’s work boys and girls!
Wow. It looks very busy. I am loving the science experiment. I may have to use your idea in my lessons! Well done to all.
