We went on our school walk on Friday 06/10/17. We walked all around Corkagh Park and stopped to have lunch by the lakes. The weather was dry and the sun even came out from behind the clouds once or twice!
4th class have planted some herbs to brighten up the classroom after taking our Christmas decorations down. The herbs we chose from were parsley, mint, chives and coriander. Here are some pictures. We will keep you updated on the growth of our herbs and how we are looking after them. \
Fourth class have really been getting into the spirit of Christmas, and have been comparing and contrasting toys from the past to the toys we play with today. We also watched clips of old episodes of the Late Late Toy Show and compared these to this year's Toy Show. Here we are playing with some older toys.
A couple of months ago we wrote a blog post explaining that we are taking part in the Blue Star SESE programme. If you want to read more about this have a look at our previous post. :-) We have now taken things a step further and have chosen one country to explore in depth. The country we chose is Italy. Here we are getting into the mind of Michelangelo by lying on our backs under our tables with our pages stuck to the bottoms of our tables to do our art, just like he lay on his back to paint the Sistine Chapel: We also learnt all about Mount Vesuvius. We then did a volcano experiment. We wrote out the materials and apparatus needed along with the method. We are experts at this as we have spent the last couple of weeks working on procedural writing. Have a look at some pictures of the experiment here:
