SNA Appreciation Day!

We celebrated SNA Appreciation Day last week! We are so lucky to have such wonderful SNAs in our school. Look at the beautiful cards we made! 

Birthday Celebrations!

4th Class 2024/2025

Welcome back 4th Class! 

2024 4th Class School Tour

We visited Derrymore Springs for our school trip! 

We played games, went for a walk around the lake, kayaked and played on the water slides. It was such amazing fun! 

Science- Magic Pencils

Magic Pencils

Plastics are a polymer, which just means they are made of many of the same molecules stuck together in a long chain. When you pierce the bag with the pencils, it breaks the chain, but the end molecules of the polymer chain are sticky, and make a seal around the pencil that won't let water out.

Science- Musical Jars

Musical Jars 

Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a wave. In this experiment, tapping on the jars with the spoon disturbs the particles of the jar causing them to vibrate. The vibrations in the jar are transferred to the air surrounding the jar, creating a sound wave. When the jars are all empty, the vibrations and the sounds are all the same. Adding different amounts of water to the jars causes the vibrations (and sound) to change.

You can change the pitch of the sound produced by the amount of water you put in the glass. Pitch is how high or low sound seems to a person and it depends on the frequency of the sound wave. When you add more water to the glass, the pitch is low. This is because the high volume of water in the glass makes it more difficult for the glass particles to vibrate, so the vibrations of the glass are slower and they have a lower frequency. When you add less water to the glass, the pitch is high. This is because the low volume of water in the glass allows the glass particle to vibrate more easily, so the vibrations of the glass are faster and have a higher frequency.
