December update in second class C
Hello everyone, here is an update on some of our activities last month!
In Science in December we did further work on our design and make skills. This month we used toothpicks to design a skyscraper! We had great fun planning in groups and then we start the fun part of constructing our pieces! We talked about how we could make our constructions balance better. It was great fun.
In art this month we created Christmas cribs. We were so proud of our art this month. See above for other pictures! ![IMG_9738[1]](http://caraghns.scoilnet.ie/blog/files/2016/02/IMG_97381-300x225.jpg)
In Drama this month we acted out the play “The Revenge of Granny Hood “. We had great fun reading out all the parts and getting into character. Here is a picture of some of our oscar winning performances.
Thank you all for attending our Christmas carol service. We really enjoyed performing our song and our poem.
November fun!
Firstly you will see an art activity we tried with milk. You wouldn’t believe the effect it had when mixed with washing up liquid! Take a look. If you come to our Science Day we might even show you how we did it.
Secondly you will see pictures of our Bird Feeders. As the winter months are a very difficult time for our feathered friends we decided to make Bird Feeders.However as we love Science in our classroom we decided to try an experiment. We made six bird feeders out of different materials. We even made a lego bird feeder!! We are tracking our results at the moment. This is something else you will see on our Science Day 2016!
Finally you will see some constructions we made with paper folding. We explored the work of engineers and teacher gave us a chance to be an engineer!
We worked together to build a construction with four levels. However the construction had to balance an oreo on it! I have inserted a picture of the winning group! Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for our December activities! Coming soon………..
2nd class C
Tomorrow we will put up photographs of all our adventures in November and December! Stay tuned……
