Junior 4 2015-2016

Sports Day

Our Class Outing

We enjoyed a lovely day out in Kilcornan. The sun shone on us as we played and explored the lovely gardens. We had a lovely picnic in the shade before we headed back to school.

Working and Playing Together

Earth Day

The students participated in the school clean up day to celebrate Earth day.

Geography

Students enjoyed learning about earth, exploring the globe, completing the continent jigsaw and learning about land, air and water.

Drama

For our drama class the students listened to the story Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs and enjoyed re-enacting some of the scenes.

Science

We planted our Runner bean seeds during the week. We learned how to take care of the seeds to help them to grow, they need water, sun and most importantly our love and care!

Digital Week

Students performed basic computer skills such as turning on the computer, inserting a disc in the computer and turning off computer. They learned how to name and recognise the different parts of the computer. They looked at the keyboard and found the letters of their name.

We also recognised and used symbols on the interactive whiteboard.

World Book Day

To celebrate world book day we went to the library and spent some time looking at lots of lovely books. We spent time in class looking at our books too. We love books!!!

Valentine's Day

Music

Exploring Musical Instruments

Winter Art

Have a look at our footprints in the snow and our snowmen

Winter Science

Colourful frozen hands: We enjoyed making our frozen hands, filling the latex gloves with water and food colouring,. Touching them was a very funny feeling, then we placed them on trays and put them in the freezer.
After all our work we then set out to melt the frozen hands with salt, this was fun also, watching the frozen hands dissolve into coloured water.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL FROM JUNIOR 4

Santa came to visit

Christmas Art

We have been so busy creating lots of lovely christmas art. We made Gingerbread houses, Christmas trees, Rudolph in the dark and Rudolph the red nose reindeer pictures with our hand prints. We finished it all off with lots of lovely glitter!!!! We had so much fun!

A visit to the Aquarium

We enjoyed a lovely trip to the aquarium and had lunch in the Galway Bay Hotel thanks to the "Make it Happen" foundation

Owl Babies

Our story this week is Owl Babies - Sarah, Percy and Bill. We enjoyed creating a scene from the story during art.

What's the weather like today?

For our assembly we did the weather song. We have been observing the changes in our weather over the past weeks. Check out our fabulous weather art work!

SCIENCE WEEK

We had great fun participating in science experiments: walking water, mixing colours and rainbow flowers. We watched how colours mixed in the milk with an explosion of colours when we added the washing up liquid, how water appeared to walk from one container to another, and as if by magic changed the colour of the water water in the other containers & how the petals of the flowers changed colour over time by absorbing the coloured water up through their stems.

Very exciting!
