STEP 1 - SCIENCE
Energy and Forces 5th & 6th Class
The children created a simple electrical circuit. They used a battery, wires, electrical clips and bulbs to create the circuit. They had to construct the circuit in the correct manner in order for the current to flow through the circuit and in turn cause the bulb to light up. They also used the circuit to test the conductivity of a range of materials.
Maths Questions that were discussed.
1) Would the length of leads/wires used affect the circuit?
Calculate the voltage of the current by increasing or decreasing the amount of
batteries used in the circuit.
Mr Faherty's 5th and 6th class really enjoyed learning about and creating circuits, it was great fun!
Miss Meaney's class really enjoyed learning about and constructing houses!

Visual arts –
cutting and sticking. Maths – 2D shapes |
Can cdn use
materials to create a shape like a house? |
Selection of art
materials, glue, scissors. |
Space Week - 4th and 5th Class
Mrs Diviney's 4th and 5th class enjoyed learning about Space during Space Week this year (4th - 10th October)
