Laoise's Grandad

Laoise's Grandad came to visit to talk about when he was a boy.
He showed us pictures of the desks they used to use.They did not have pencils and pens like we do.Instead they all used ink pots which had to be filled with ink everyday.
He brought in some turf. Martin did not have radiators in school when he was a boy so they all brought in turf to put on the fire to keep warm.
He told us about the games they used to play like marbles and cowboys and indians.
They had great fun without television or computer games!
Thank you for coming to visit us Martin!


A bundle of love!!

Bright Sparks!

We figured out how to make the bulb light up. We connected the wires from the battery to the bulb and it lit up. We found out that electricity travels in a circle.


We made St. Brigid's Crosses

Marbling

We mixed different colour marbling inks and created our own planet.
