Testing for Starch

2/10/2015

 
Today we conducted an experiment to see what foods contained starch. We used iodine to test if starch was present in some foods that we eat everyday. We learnt that iodine turns a blue/black colour where starch is present.

Irish Geography

1/10/2015

 
We are leaning about Irish counties, rivers, lakes and mountain ranges. Here are some games that might be helpful for revising at home.

Irish Mountains and Islands

I have handed back the tests that we did. Parents, please sign them and return them as soon as possible.

Rocket Balloon

28/11/2014

 
Today Ryan came to teach us how to make Rocket Balloons. It was great fun.

First we got into small groups and we blew up a balloon. We twisted the end and secured it with a clothes peg. Then we decorated the balloons with markers.
Next we stuck a straight straw to the side of our balloon with sellotape and threaded through a length of fishing line. We discovered that fishing line is more effective than string because it's slippy. Then we got down to some racing. We had some visiting children from Third Class who managed to beat all the Fifth Class teams with their rocket balloon. There are some very serious scientists in Ms. Kiely's class.

I'm a Scientist... Get Me Out of Here!

14/11/2014

 
For Science Week, Ms. Mahoney signed 5th Class up for I'm a Scientist Get Me Out of Here, which is a special programme where Ph.D. students enter a live webchat with primary students to answer some of our most pressing questions. We got answers to questions like "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" and lots of very useful information for our Mini Scientist projects. It was great fun and we learnt a lot. Check out http://imascientist.ie/ to find out more.

Hidden Sugar

26/9/2014

 
We learnt about the harmful effects of eating too much sugar. We weighed out the sugar in some of our favourite foods and drinks to see just how much sugar we were eating. We were a little put off by some of the results.

We have been playing MinecraftEDU with Mr. Molloy. It's a special version of Minecraft for classrooms. Click here to find out more.
We worked in teams to collaborate and problem solve. Along the way we integrated many different school subjects including English, SESE, Science, Art and Maths. We also learned what it means to be a good digital citizen in the 21st century! We are only beginning our adventures in learning with MinecraftEDU.

Mr. Molloy - Who's in the house? (The Normans in the House!)

23/11/2012

 
Who’s in the house (The Normans in the house!)

Chorus:
Who’s in the house?
The Normans in the House
Who’s in the house?
The Normans in the House
Who’s in the house?
The Normans in the House
Now tell me  - Who’s in the House?
The Normans are in the House.

Strongbow :
Here comes Strongbow and his crew
With his sword he’ll do some damage to you
Strongbow’s coming he’s on his way
He landed in Wexford Bannow Bay
Strongbow was scary in his metal gear
No way, he didn’t even have one fear
Irish woman Aoife was his wife
He became the king of Leinster, what a life! 

Origin:
We would like to tell you a little story,
(Watch out) It’s going to get a little Gory.
We hope it will make you stand and dance,
‘Cause the Normans Yeah they came from France!
It all started in 1066,
When the Battle of Hastings started to mix.
When Ruairí O’Conor became the High King,
In battle they sure liked lots of bling.   HALLA!

Law:
Now the law they had some crazy schemes
That you wouldn’t even think of in your wildest dreams
If you battled and you won then you were innocent 
even if you killed a dude called Vincent
Now the other choice is that you drown and die 
‘coz you really, really, really not allowed to lie
You might wanna think that this sounds crazy
But the jury’s were just way too lazy

Medicine:
Norman doctors didn’t know what caused diseases,
cut the arms of sick people and left them bleedin’,
surgery with germs was really dirty,
that’s right! few people reached the age of forty!
Barbers with blades were doctors too,
no college degree, didn’t have a clue.
the famous white poles that hang out front,
were made from bandages covered in blood.
