Explorers Turtle Talk

The month of November was full of Turtle Talk in Fourth Class. Sibéal came from Galway Atlantiquaria to tell us all about Sea Turtles and tasked us with researching and creating our own projects based on the subject. We had so much fun creating our projects and presenting the information to Sibéal when she returned. We also made our very own clay Sea Turtles.

Science Week

Science week was great fun. We took part in a Bricks 4 Kids wordshop and we also constructed and tested our own Nasa rockets. We measured how far the rockets flew and checked if it changed depending on the rocket's nose size.
