Happy Birthday
We celebrated another fantastic birthday in the Language class. Happy birthday!! Thank you for our yummy party bags. We had so much fun at the dance off afterwards. 
Classes
Volcano Experiment
What do you get if you mix vinegar and baking soda? An exploding volcano!!! We added food coloring for effect and some liquid soap for extra bubbles. This experiment was really exciting (and messy!).
World Book Day
Look at all the characters our classes dressed up as. Aren’t they wonderful! Well done to all and thank you to the mammies and daddies for putting in such a tremendous effort.
Strawberries and Potatoes
A big box of surprises arrived for us today. The excitement!
Inside was three strawberry plants and three seed potatoes. We learned how to plant them so that they can grow. We carefully put the strawberry plants and the seed potatoes into soil and gave them lots of water. Then we put them just inside the window for plenty sunlight.
We can’t wait until we can try our own home grown potatoes and strawberries but in the meantime, we’ll have to make do with the strawberries and potatoes that teacher brought from the shop.
We learned that the strawberries and potatoes that teacher bought in the shop were not from Ireland. The strawberries were from Spain and the potatoes were from France. Our strawberries and potatoes that we are growing will be Irish. I wonder which ones will be nicer??
Magic Milk Experiment
Our science experiment this week was Magic Milk. First we put the milk in a shallow dish:
Then we put in two different colours of food colouring:
Then we all got a cotton bud and dipped it in to some washing up liquid:
When you touch the cotton bud to the surface of the milk, all the colours start to swirl and move around in the milk making the milk magic! Wow!
Planting Lettuce
This week we planted lettuce seeds in biodegradable pots. It was messy work. We know that seeds need sunlight and water to grow so we put them just inside the window and watered them. We are really looking forward to eating our own home grown lettuce. Yum!
Ceilí Mór
We have been practising all week for a big ceilí in the yard. The rain stayed away long enough for us to get out and perform our dance. We had so much fun. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone.
City Hall Winners!!
Congratulations to the wonderful sixth class for receiving first place in the Discover Cork School’s Heritage Project. It was a great honour to receive the trophy last night in the City Hall. Well done to all of sixth class for their hard work and dedication. Well done also to Rhys, Caoilfhionn and Peace who did an absolutely superb job last night speaking on stage about the project. We are super proud of you all!
World Book Day!!
Sixth class organised a wonderful and very enjoyable World Book Day! We had a book swap and lots of children dressed up as their favourite book characters! Everybody had a chance to parade down our red carpet and there were loads of prizes for best dressed as well as free books for everyone to take home and enjoy! It was a very memorable day and great fun was had by all!
Pancake Tuesday
Today is Pancake Tuesday so Jennifer helped us to make yummy pancakes. Some of us had lemon and sugar on our pancakes and some of us had plain. They were delicious. We even got to flip a pancake. How exciting!! Thank you Jennifer and Ber.
