We did two science experiments this week as part of science week. First one was a skittles experiment, where we dissolved the colouring off the skittles to make a rainbow on the plate. Then we did a floating and sinking experiment where we investigated which classroom items would float and which would sink. The children learned a lot this week and had lots of fun!
   

We have been learning all about 3-D shapes in Maths this week. We learned about cubes, cuboids, cylinders and spheres and have had lots of fun spotting these shapes in our everyday lives. I gave the children a challenge of constructing a cube with their partner using lollipop sticks and playdoh. They found it quite challenging but had great fun working together.

We had great fun dressing up in our Halloween costumes today in Senior Infants. We did some spooky science experiments where we made witches’ potions bubble over using vinegar and baking soda and we also made lava lamps using oil, water and an effervescent tablet. The children really enjoyed the day!
