Green-Schools Travel Conference

Image
  2nd and 3 rd  classes recently took part in an online Green Schools Travel Conference. There were lots of interesting speakers. Aaron Copeland spoke about children taking back cities and making sure that they were designed with children rather than cars in mind. We also took part in an online activity where we made our own city. On one side there was a sustainable city with trees, solar panels and cycle lanes. On the other city there was overcrowding, pollution and traffic jams. It was easy to choose which side we would like to see by 2040.

Elephant's Toothpaste

Our final experiment for Science Week was Elephant's Toothpaste. This is made using a mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide and yeast. This mixture causes bubbles to form quickly as the Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down into oxygen bubbles and water.  

Saying Goodbye to Noreen

We were all sad to be saying goodbye to Noreen who has been a big part of our class for the past three months. There were lots of special cards made and one extra special Sponge Bob card. Mr O’Connor presented her with a gift from her friends on the staff who will also miss her a lot.
