Science Week

"The most important thing, is to never stop questioning" Albert Einstein.

This week we investigated the topic of solids, liquids and gases in science.
We learned about their properties and characteristics and located them in our environment.
We predicted and investigated what will happen when we mix certain solids, liquids and gases together.
Here are some of them in action.
Ms. Kelly thinks the future is very bright with all the scientists in room 16!

                         The liquid test

The girls mixed sand, salt and sugar with water.
          What do you think happened?

 This group mixed corn flour, water and food colouring.  Look below at what they created!

                                   Slime!!

 Things got messy when we mixed carbon dioxide,liquid and sugar. We made a hole in the lid of the coke bottle. We put some mints into the bottle and placed the new lid on top. Can you guess what happened?

We really enjoyed science week and learned a lot!

What are the chances??

                             Chance
Last week in maths we learned about probability and chance.
We learned vocabulary such as,
likely, unlikely, possible, certain and Impossible .
We created questions for our partners to answer and played a game of chance.

Happy Hallowe'en!!

We have had great fun in Scoil Mhuire over the last few weeks getting ready for Hallowe'en.
We had our green school fashion show on the 26th of October. Well done to everyone who took part. The creativity was fantastic.
We really enjoyed dressing up in our costumes on the 27th.
Wishing you all a safe and fun Hallowe'en.

Sponsored Walk

We embarked on our annual sponsored walk on a sunny day in October. We discovered many of the signs of Autumn along the way and even collected some blackberries. At the end of the walk we got to have fun in the playground. 😃
Thanks to everyone who sponsored our school walk.
