Happy Christmas everyone

Today we took some pictures of the snow at school! We were able to come to school today because lots of families volunteered to help dig out the snow!

A big thank you everyone!

This is what it looked like last week before you helped dig the snow out!

Kevin, our caretaker, took these photographs and said we could blog them to you!

Last Sunday, 4th February 2018, our talented school choir performed in the RDS with the Dublin Peace Choir and Crossborder Orchestra! The choir sang beautifully and had loads of fun! We are very proud our great singers in Sallins N.S!

The Magic Umbrella

Here is our story “The Magic Umbrella”. We came up with the story in class and then we made the characters out of play dough to go along with it!

We had a lot of fun. Click on the link below to see the movie! We hope you enjoy  it!

We have been having lots of festive fun here in room 14 in the build up to Christmas time. We would like to share some of the things we have been doing with our friends and families.

One of the things we love to do at Christmas time is to decorate the Christmas tree. We made paper ball reindeer as a decoration to take home to our Christmas trees. Another big tradition at this time of year is Christmas cards. We used finger painting and crepe paper to create cards with some of Santa’s reindeer on the front. We also made these fun elf envelopes to deliver our cards in.

As a festive treat last Friday and to warm up from all the ice, snow and cold weather we made some hot chocolate with Ms. Reidy. We poured our hot chocolate into the polar bear paper cups we designed the day before. We added marshmallows and chocolate chips to the top.  It tasted delicious.

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from all the boys and girls in room 14 and Ms. Reidy.

Last Tuesday and Wednesday Beth Murphy came into our 6th classes and taught us how to weave with willow.She showed us different types of Willow.She also showed us how to make a small Christmas Tree.

Step 1:

She gave us a thick piece of Willow to start our frame. We made a triangle with the Willow.

Step 2:

We used thin Willow to make the top of the tree by weaving it around the frame and trunk of the tree.

Step 3:

We used new willow to continue the tree and add colour.

Step 4:

We used buff willow to complete the tree.

Step 5:

When we finished, Beth helped trim the tree. We decorated our trees with ribbon.

Beth showed us a video about willow weaving and some of here pieces.

We enjoyed it and we would like to do it again.

We went to the garden. 

We looked at different materials and plants. 

We found lots of great things.

On Friday 1st December, in Room 18, we made “Breakfast Bites”

We followed the DK:  COOK IT STEP BY STEP book! Delicious dishes you’ll really want to make!

See how we worked together to make this popular dish.

It is eaten in Portugal at Christmas.

You will need:

Eggs, one each is good!

240 ml milk

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Slices of white bread. We took two each!

2 tbsp sunflower oil

Fruit to serve: we had strawberries!

Whisk, mixing bowl, shallow dish, frying pan and a spatula

HERE WE GO!

Miniature Pizzas

Last Friday we made some tasty mini pizzas with Ms. Reidy!

This is the recipe we followed to make them:

Method: 
1. We chopped the mushrooms and ham into slices (optional).
2. We rolled small handfuls of pre-made pizza dough into round pizza base shapes with our hands and two rolling pins.
3. We added a tablespoon of pizza sauce to the pizza bases and we spread it evenly around the centre.
4. We sprinkled some grated cheese (whatever cheese you like) on top and we layered our pizzas with your chosen toppings (We put ham. cheese and mushrooms on ours).
5. We placed them on a baking tray and put them in the oven for 25 minutes.

Now, we hope you enjoy our delicious home-made pizza recipe and recommend you try making them at home!

School rugby is back again for another year. We have four teams this year, A, B, C and D. The teams are made up of students from 3^rd to 6^th class. We have been training since Halloween and we have played two matches since then.

For our first match we travelled to Castleknock in Dublin. In this match it was only the A team playing because it was against 1^st years. It was a very wet and windy day so the conditions were very hard to play in. After a tight first half Castleknock led by 5 points. We came back strong in the second half and pulled it back to a draw. They brought on their subs and that won it for them.

Training resumed on Tuesday and each team had a match against C.U.S the following week. Going into this match we were hoping for a win after losing our last match. The conditions were fine that day. The A team had a brilliant 1^st half and by the time the whistle blew they were up 42-0. They kept their great lead in the second half and the game finished 75-0. We had the stronger teams on the day as three out of four teams won.

Well done to all the teams and we can’t wait for our next match!

Our idea was to find out how much sugar is actually in protein bars . We chose this idea because we have been told that obesity has become a problem in Ireland. What we wanted to do to help is to try to find a way to make protein bars healthier, we chose protein bars because most people think they are healthy but they are not.

We researched to find out how much sugar is in each store bought bar by looking at the table at the back of the packet.

Recipe for oat bar:

Ingredients:

• 350g of oats
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 180ml of almond milk
• 2 eggs
• Vanilla essence ( if wanted )
• 1 tbsp of sweetener
• A drizzle of honey

Method:

1. Put oats into a bowl.
2. Put wet ingredients into a bowl.
3. Then stir.
4. Add your dry ingredients into a bowl and stir.
5. When done put the mixture into a tray.
6. Put the tray into the oven for 12 minutes at 180 degrees.

Recipe for nut bar:

Ingredients:

• 150g of oats
• Hand full of nuts
• A drizzle of honey
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1 tbsp of sweetener
• 180ml of almond milk
• 2 eggs

Method:

1. Put the oats and nuts into a bowl.
2. Add wet Ingredients and stir.
3. Add dry ingredients and stir.
4. Put the mixture into a tray.
5. Put into the oven for 12 minutes at 180 degrees.

Report

Our report is based on sugar and which protein bar is the best one to buy. It is also based on making our own protein bars using ingredients that you might have at home. We compared the shop bought verses homemade. Our prediction was that the homemade protein bars would taste better than the shop made one and will have less sugar. We also predict it will cost less. We think that the shop made protein bar will have a high amount of sugar.

Mini Scientist School Exhibition

On the Mini Scientists Day we found out that people preferred the nut bar than the vanilla extract one. We also found out that people would buy our homemade protein bars instead of the shop bought ones.

Conclusion

Our conclusion is that the homemade protein bars have less sugar in them than the shop bought ones and costs less. We found out that the worse one you can buy is the Nature Valley Bar with 6.2g of sugar. The best one you can buy is the Lidl brand Meal Pro with 0.8g of sugar. Our conclusion is that the homemade protein bars are healthier than the shop bought ones.

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

For our project we wanted to find out what a dry ice bubble is and how it forms.

We made the dry ice ourselves using a fire extinguisher instead of buying it because it can be expensive and hard to get on time.

We learned a lot during this project. We learned that carbon dioxide is what makes dry ice and that when carbon dioxide mixes with water it makes a solid bubble.

We really enjoyed doing this project and are very grateful for getting the chance of doing the Mini Scientist again this year!

Thank you!

We picked this topic because we wanted kids to know the dangers of social media. Our favourite part about doing this project was the surveys on our class and showing the judges, parents and kids on the day. It was a great experience for us and our school. We learned a lot from other projects too. We hope we can use all this information in the future and everyone else can too. We would like to thank the judges from Intel, Mrs. Keane for organising the mini scientist and all the staff for helping.

Hi, our names are Kieran, Dylan, Adam and Jack. Our project was ‘Which Liquid Cleans Metal the Best?’. We learned that the acid in the lemon juice cleaned the metal the best. We really enjoyed this opportunity to be able to do the mini scientists. We give a huge thanks to our parents and our teachers for helping us with our project.

Lorcan: I am 11 years of age and I like soccer and GAA.

Cillian: I am 12 and I like soccer.

Glenn: I am 13 years of age and I like Film.

Szymon: I am 11 years of age and I like playing xbox and computer games.

Our project is based on evaporation and how different liquids can evaporate at various rates. We tested these rates by putting different liquids under the same level of heat for the same amount of time.

Today we went to the mini-scientist fair in our school halls.

Kevin planted a Christmas tree for us today. We will decorate it for Christmas and watch it grow each year.

Congratulations to our wonderful Credit Union Art Competition winners who were presented with their certificates and prizes in Scoil Bhride on Wednesday evening, 8th November 2017.

THIS IS HOW WE MADE THEM
