The girls up in room 12 wrote fantastic Christmas limericks this week and did such a great job designing them, maith sibh!! 👏 We’ve had a great time over the past couple of weeks creating dances and short dramas in our pods. The virtual pantomime was also a huge hit, such a treat!! 😊

Here are lots of interesting and useful websites for you to explore. Remember to write the information in your OWN words!! You must have between 5-8 facts. I have also included the video which we have already watched in class. 😊

Here are some optional at home science experiments; 🧪😊

This week is Science Week and we have been looking at what exactly science means and the different sciences there are. Today, we carried out a blubber experiment in class to go with our topic on the Antarctica. We asked our question and then we carried out an investigation to answer the question, making sure that it was a fair test. We also wrote this experiment up in our copies, just like real scientists! 🧪🧫👩‍🔬🥼

There are some fun and interesting experiments up on the Seesaw for you try out at home this week and I would love to see a photo or video of it. 😊

Hi cailíní,

So this week we would have been going on our school tour, but instead we’re doing the next best thing and giving you a variety of virtual tours for you to explore. My personal favourite is the Dublin Zoo virtual tour!! I know it’s a pity that we’re not going on our real school tour, but at least there’s no queue for the toilets. 😉

I would suggest exploring the virtual tours on Tuesday and then try out the drama/art activities on Wednesday. 😁🎨🎭
