2016/2017 has been a great year here in room 5. We have made our First Holy Communion and Reconciliation and made lots of memories along the way. Look at our photos to see some of the fun activities we have done in the past few days.

Chess-Miss Cleary came in on Tuesday and taught us how to play chess. It was a lot of fun!

Teach the Teacher Day-We turned the tables this week. The students became the teachers and the teacher became a student. We made up our own lessons to teach to the class…..and to Miss Doyle! We learned how to make paper aeroplanes, how to draw a dolphin, watched an experiment and lots of other things!

This week the boys and girls in second class made Easter bonnets. They used paper plates, card, paper, cotton wool and lots of other materials to make some fantastic hats! Look at the photos below to see our Easter-inspired creations!

Recently in room 5 we learned all about electricity and we had fun carrying out some experiments involving static electricity.

First we used our jumpers and hair to ‘charge up’ some balloons and it was very funny to see some people’s hair sticking to the balloon!

Then we used static electricity to try to pick up some rice krispies with balloons-it was messy but fun!

Now we just have to find a use for all the left over balloons in our classroom…….
