Last Wednesday, our class took a trip to Raheny Library to attend a LEGO workshop as part of Science Week. The workshop was all about renewable energy. We learned about the three types of renewable energy- wind energy , water/ hydroelectric energy and solar energy. We then made our own windmills using LEGO. We attached a battery to our windmills to make them rotate like real windmills. We had so much fun and learned so much about renewable energy.

Hello!
Here is a great website that will help you with your Mini Science Project on a scientist of your choice! You can use a book instead if you want.

The girls are going to create a United Kingdom project as part of their SESE work for the next two weeks (due Fri 22nd Nov).
The girls are to find information about the following headings and write 3 facts about the headings in their OWN WORDS on a max TWO scrapbook pages.
The headings are as follows;
Today we tried a new game. We found a reason (or lots of reasons!) why each one doesn’t belong.
For the top two games, we used Maths language like acute angle, obtuse angle, right angle, hexagon, triangle, odd, even, square number, digit.
Can you find any more reasons? Now try the two games below!
Before the mid-term break, our class did a Nature Walk along Seafield Road, to investigate Sycamore and Ash trees near the school. We collected leaves and seeds. The class also did bark and leaf rubbings.
We watched these useful videos:
The class used the school laptops to research the Ash tree, using the website https://treecouncil.ie/project/ash/
In November, we will continue our tree study by researching the Ash, using http://www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/1st-+-2nd-class/1st-2nd-class-environment/leafy-lovelies/trees/native-trees/ash/index.xml
We’ll study the Sycamore on http://www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/5th-+-6th-class/5th-+-6th-class-environme/leafy-lovelies/trees/non-native-trees/sycamore/index.xml
The class dressed up in fabulously frightening costumes on Friday 25th October. Unfortunately the weather was too wet for our annual Sponsored Walk, but the girls paraded their outfits in the halla in front of the whole school.
Hi all,
We had a very eventful Maths Week in Room 3! The girls were really enthusiastic all week and we had great fun!
We engaged in various activities throughout the week such as group maths games, interactive games, designing our door for a whole school competition, maths trails, maths art, Queen of the Tables, solving maths riddles, maths buddies with 5th Class girls and they also made great efforts in their homework all week creating very interesting word problems, with some humor attached too.
We ended the week at a whole school assembly where one girl from each class received a ‘Maths Award’. Congratulations to Abbie who made a super effort all week and is always willing to help others, if they are stuck on a tricky sum or word problem. Maith thú Abbie!!
Have a look below to see ‘sum’ of the things we got up to!
The Ms. Mohan’s, Ms. Brodie’s and Ms. Walshe’s 3rd classes have been learning about fire safety this week. We also designed some wonderful Fire Safety posters which we entered into the Dublin Fire Brigade Art competition. We have a very talented group of artists. You never know we might win a prize!
Check out our posters!
We have been talking, this week, about Fire Safety. In particular how to stay safe at Hallowe’en, how to prevent fires, and how we can prepare to be safe if ever there was a fire.
For homework, the girls were asked to chat about the Fire Safety Checklist with an adult at home. 
We also watched this video about Fire Safety at home.
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí!
