Sallins National School

Last week we were learning about weight in maths.

We learned to estimate and weigh accurately using different types of scales.

We figured out that…

The size of an item doesn’t determine the weight! It can be big but light or small and heavy!

What type of scales do you think would be best to weight a school bag?

Test it out at home and let us know!

We really enjoyed doing Jiu-Jitsu with Rob & Rob.

They taught us good self-defence moves.

Thank you, Rob & Rob from 3rd class Rm.28.

Subject: Science

Topic: Materials

We classified materials and experimented to see what changes take place.

We used:

• Baking Soda
• Water
• Vinegar
• Salt

We made brilliant projects.

We hope you enjoy them!

HI!

We have been working really hard over the last weeks.

So…. today we made NINJA STRESS BALLS to help us relax.

We followed the instructions in the video…… but we used rice instead of flour!

Much less mess!

Try make some NINJA STRESS BALLS at home!

We had fun!

Third Class Room 28

We grew cress and mustard in our classroom.

Today we harvested and sampled our project food!

It was delicious!

We can grow herbs at home on the kitchen windowsill

ROOM 28

Today we went to the garden to plant our pea seeds. We are taking part in the INNOCENT BIG GROW project.

Here we are in the garden classroom. We followed the  instructions on the seed packet. We used compost made by the Wormery worms in our school garden. Our seeds will germinate in the polly tunnel over the Easter Holidays!

We look forward to recording their growth!

We made these helmets as part of our Viking projects!

We built LEGO projects today FRIDAY: 08/02/19

We worked together in groups of 3.

We took turns being the Engineer, Supplier, Builder…

This is how we worked ……

Here are some of our constructions…..

Room 28

We are making Viking Helmets out of papier maché.   We had great fun making them.

Today we did our prints and we learned how to do mono printing.

When the prints are dry they will be put up on the wall for all to see!

Like a GALLERY!

Come back soon to see our Gallery.

Thanks to Mr. McDonnell for playing the guitar

Thanks to Sarah and David from Mr. McDonnell’s class for teaching us!

Today we did block printing.

We printed lots of  designs.

Then we made our own stamps using match sticks, old cereal boxes and string.

Next week, we will use our stamps to make pictures.

If you like to see them come back next week!

See you next week!

We were doing materials in Science with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda and it made a big reaction!

• First we experimented with solids and liquids
• We were testing for a reversible and irreversible change
• We had great fun doing science
• We learned that bicarbonate of soda and vinegar caused a chemical reaction. The acid in the vinegar caused the explosion!

Today, Friday, we did this experiment again using food colouring.

• It was very colourful!
• It was foamy……….

We are scientists and artists!

What do you think?

Third Class Room 28

Today we started new paintings and our Winter Paintings are on display outside along the corridor! Thanks for returning to see our ART!

YAY! It’s Friday!

Happy Weekend

We went outside with Nuala and we found lots of invertebrates.

We collected them and put them in cups.

Then we got all the invertebrates in a big basin we named them. We returned them to the garden

Then we went back inside and we looked at other invertebrates on pieces of paper. We cut out the bug dials and stuck them together with glue.  After that we looked at water invertebrates and we identified them using our DIALS!

We all had so much fun.

Thank you to Nuala Madigan for giving us time and knowledge.

Today Nuala Madigan came to our class to help us learn about INVERTEBRATES

We went out to the garden.

I took some PHOTOS of pictures by our class. The pictures are like VINCENT VAN GOUGH!
