Fresh fruit smoothies on the menu in room 6!
This week we have been learning about healthy eating and making good food choices. We made strawberry and banana smoothies in class.
The Wonderful World of Roald Dahl!
In room 6, we have been learning all about the author Roald Dahl and his illustrator Quentin Blake.
We have been reading the Roald Dahl novel “Fantastic Mr. Fox”.
We enjoyed acting out parts of the story. We had fun pretending to be characters from the story and asking one another questions.
Scientist at work
Experiment:
We wanted to know how blubber keeps Arctic animals warm. We got a glove and poured some oil (blubber) into it. We then put our hand in it and placed it into a bowl of ICE COLD water, our other hand went in just as it is.
We discovered that the hand in the glove with the blubber stayed warm, while our other hand was getting colder and colder.
See how well we work together 🙂
Little red riding hood project
We made a project about Little Red Riding Hood. We decided to be authors and illustrators. We rewrote the story in our own words and drew pictures to match. Didn’t we do a great job 🙂
We made dioramas about the story using shoe boxes and coloured card. 
We then pretend to be the wolf and wrote a letter of apology to Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandma.
Seachtain na Gaeilge
We had so much fun for the two weeks of Seachtaine na Gaeilge. We were on the school radio and sang an Irish song, we had visitors to the school and listened and danced while they played Irish jigs on the fiddle. It was lots of fun.
