Junior LEGO League at the Radisson Hotel
We have spent many weeks working hard on our project.Yesterday we finally got to display our project at the Radisson Hotel.We displayed our robotics along with many other schools from all over Galway.We had a fantastic evening of show and tell, dancing, cheerleading and entertainment.
Mixing and dissolving
We tested different substances to see if they would dissolve in water or not.We tested salt, sugar, sand, seeds etc.
Show and Tell
We brought in our favourite object to show the class.We told the class why we liked it and what it meant to us.
The class brought in teddies, a judo outfit, a pantomime outfit, an old part of a train, a chain and many more.....

Historical Artefacts!
Each group was given a really old object.
We had to decide what it is made of, who would have used it, where it was made, what shape it was and if it could talk what it would say!
Finally we had to guess what it was.We had some very interesting guesses!
At the end of the lesson teacher told us about each object:
an old hot water bottle,
a milk can,
an old brass blowtorch
and an inkwell!

Contempo String Quartet
We visited the Contempo String Quartet in the Education Centre. We listened to excerpts of classical music and looked out for varying pitch, rhythm and dynamics. Rosa was allowed to play the violin!!
Easter pots
We created pots with clay, painted them all different colours and filled them with hay and yummy eggs!
