We used cars and different materials to find out the effects of each material on the speed of the cars. The materials we used were tissue, tinfoil and a tea towel. We discovered that the car moved slowest on the tea towel.
Then we used the cars with ramps to see how the angle of the ramp impacted on the speed of the cars. We found that the car moved fastest on the steepest ramp.
Science is fun!
Look at our Superhero pictures! We are all unique. We are all special.
Hi Ladies,
Thank you for your participation in class so far – I am really enjoying sharing one of my favourite topics in History with you!
As mentioned in class, there is an assignment associated with this module which is due after Mid-Term. The assignment is to be presented on a pyramid, just like the one I showed you. I’ll give you the instructions on how to make it in class, and there’s a link showing something similar below.
There are four sections in your pyramid. You will focus on one Revolution per section. In the fourth section you are to detail how the Revolutions influenced each other, and mention the links between them.
Just in case you are having any difficulty, there is a section on the topic in History All Around Me, a copy of which you will find in your classroom. Below there is a few links to websites that may help you. Remember to ask permission from a grown-up before using the Internet.
Any questions? Come and chat to me!
Enjoy!!
Ms. Carroll

We have been studying weather over the last couple of weeks. We made rain gauges in our classroom using plastic bottles and rulers. We put the rain gauges in the school garden and we will measure the levels of rainfall throughout the week. Hopefully there won’t be too much rain!
We have been doing great work during Maths Week. We had great fun writing Maths poems and we also played lots of Maths games in the computer room!
Computer Room Fun!
Hello Ladies!
Your project is due for Monday 16th October. It can take the form of a poster, a booklet or a Powerpoint presentation. Ideally, you should have some work prepared so that you can talk about your project when presenting rather than just reading what you have written. If you have any queries or concerns regarding this project, please come and chat to me!
Don’t forget to include a bibliography at the end, and please remember, I don’t accept Wikipedia as a source. When searching the Internet, firstly, please be careful and ask a grown-up, and secondly, consider the value of, and how trustworthy a site appears. Your project should be engaging and as interesting as you can make it. Remember that longer does not always mean better!!
Best of luck girls!
Ms. C.
Hi Girls,
As you are aware your project for my history class will be due on Tuesday 14th February. (It was Monday, but the school is closed.) You have been asked to find a group of three girls, ideally one from each of the sixth classes, and to create a diorama based on the topic we have been studying.
In order to complete the activity you will need a shoe box (or similar). You can decide to focus on one particular aspect of the topic (e.g. Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’ Locomotive) or on a wider topic base (e.g. Life before the Agricultural & Industrial Revolution). Your diorama should show that you have an understanding and knowledge of your topic, and you should be able to talk about and explain what you have created and why.
For those of you who are new to the idea of a diorama, here’s a few images to help.
The Arctic Circle
Harry Potter & Hogwarts
German Factory – this one is very detailed and very complicated (far more so than I am expecting! Your diorama does not need to be anything as detailed as this – this is just to give you some ideas and inspiration)Here’s a link to a video that shows how to create a ‘room in a box’ diorama
On Friday 10th February you will have a chance to meet up with your group and to put together the finishing touches to your diorama project. Hopefully this will be a fun way of showing what you have learned!
Any questions? Just ask!
Thanks,
Ms. J. Carroll 🙂
Hi Girls!!
Your project is on the subject of Clontarf and is due after the Mid Term break. All projects are to be presented in a written format and will be displayed as part of a class exhibition. Each topic is to be given at least an A4 page. At least half of your page should contain written information and you should include at least one illustration. You can source your information online, in books, newspapers or magazines, or from a primary source. Remember that you need to research your topic carefully, pick out the important information and present it in your own words. All work should be handwritten and marks will be given for presentation. You should include a bibliography as part of your conclusion and don’t forget that Wikipedia is not an accepted source for this project.
Enjoy!!
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí!
