Science Week




As part of Science week we learned about electricity. We learned how to create static electricity by rubbing a balloon against our hair. The electricity created can repel objects.When Anna touched the surface of the Plasma Ball the electricity flowed from the Plasma Ball through her body, down to the ground (earth)!


Planetarium


The Armagh Planetarium came to our school as part of Science week. We found out about the sun, the moon and the stars. We also saw pictures of astronauts landing on the moon.

Sinbad the Sailor


The pantomime 'Sinbad the Sailor' came to our school on Wednesday 28th November. We really enjoyed it!







Magnetism




We learned about magnets this week.We tested various objects such as pencils, paper clips, cloth, money,thumb tacks,nails,steel balls and observed whether the magnet stuck to them or not.We found out that magnets are attracted to things that have iron in them.We also played the fishing game.We made fishing rods which had a magnet attached to it.Each fish had a paper clip attached to it.We fished for all sorts of fish in the pond!
