Engineer's Week

Engineer's week was action packed in the 1st and 2nd Class classroom. Here you can see us having lots of fun designing and making our dream playgrounds. We worked on our teamwork, collaboration and problems solving skills and were very proud of the playgrounds we created. We invited Junior and Senior Infants into our classroom to view and chat about our projects. There was great excitement altogether! Well done to all the Infants who did a great job naming all the different rides in our playgrounds :) 

The children in 1st and 2nd Class also read the story Rosie Revere Engineer as a stimulus for coming up with their own invention for the future. They learned how important it is to have belief and perseverance when it comes to working as an engineer! Some of the cool ideas they came up with included the Homework Do-er 2000, a servant robot and a multiplying machine 14,000!!!

Science Week

Great fun was had during Science Week in 1st and 2nd Class where the children made their own lava lamps, conducted the bouncy egg, the leak proof bag and magic milk experiments. The children worked very hard as scientists at home too and planned, conducted and recorded an experiment of their choosing which was screened in our classroom at the end of science week. We really enjoyed watching everyone's videos. Well done all!
