Junior Achievement Ireland!
Today we were delighted to have a visit from Aidan who came from Gas Network Ireland. He is an engineer. He will be visiting us for the next five weeks as part of Junior Achievement Ireland.
Today we learned about resources. We also played a really enjoyable board game about the different ones!
We are already looking forward to next week where we will learn about entrepreneurs!!
Spaghetti and Marshmallows!!!
Today we made spaghetti and marshmallow towers! First we were split up into groups of four and five. Then we started off by making our base and then working upwards. It was hard but eventually everyone made a tower. The tallest tower was made by Corey’s team which included James, Aaron, Emma and Corey. Everyone tried their best and had lots of discussions and fun!

Fun with Catapults!!!
(Written by Rose and Saoirse)
Today in school we made catapults! First we were split into groups of three and four. Secondly we gathered up all the equipment needed {Lollypop sticks, elastic bands and other decorative things}. Some groups had the same design and some were different. After long discussions and lots of planning we finally had a finished product!!! We all sat down on our ‘runway’ for a catapult competition!!! Odhran, Daniel, Jamie and Elizabeth came in first place, Lisa and Lee came in second and three groups came third, so we had another round between them and Rose, Jack and Reece’s team won so that meant they were in third place!!! Great fun was had by all teams!!!
Hope you enjoy our pictures:
Scientific morning!!!
On Thursday the 15th of December a U.C.C guest came to do science with us. She firstly showed us a model of a brain! Shortly afterwards she taught us about the brain. She told us about the second brain in our stomach, which was very interesting. This controls feelings like butterflies! We learned that our brain is floating in our skull but is protected by a fluid. Multiple pupils tried to break an egg in a container filled with water, which was passed around. The egg represented the brain surrounded by the fluid. It was great fun! We also learned that an average adult brain weighs 1.3 kg and that we have 86 million nerves in our body!! If we had to count these nerves one by one, it would take 3,187 years to count! Lee volunteered to get his guts measured by string! These measured about the length of the classroom! Lots of more information is available on http://apc.ucc.ie. It was a great morning!!

Cork Pops Orchestra!!!
This morning 5th class along with Mrs Walsh, Rachel and Ms. Linehan headed to Cork City Hall for a show called ‘The Colours of Music’!! What a morning we had! We were introduced to the different musical instruments in an orchestra. Keith Hanley then came on stage and there was lots of excitement particularly with Niamh, Chloe, Lee, and Ciara who danced their socks off! We really loved the song Closer, Can’t Stop The Feeling and Purple People Eater! Lots of people had very groovy dance moves especially Nathan, Julia …….. well actually the entire class!!!!
