November Aistear

11/30/2018

 
November's Aistear Theme
My Family, My Home.
  • This month we were busy learning all about our families, different types of families and different types of homes.
  • In the home corner we had great fun taking on different roles within the family. We completed different chores, setting the table, cooking, washing up, doing the laundry, ironing, being the baby in the family and taking on the role of Mammy, Daddy, Aunties & Uncles.
  • After reading the Three Little Pigs, we made their houses in the junk art station. We made one house of straw, one house of sticks and one house of bricks.
  • At the creative station we made different houses & families using playdoh. 
  • At the construction station we made different types of houses, bungalows, two-storey houses & apartments. 
  • At the small world we continued the role play using small people, again taking on different roles in the home. 
  • At the sand station we built different types of houses.
  • We also engaged in lots of discussion about rooms in the house, what you would find in each room and what the rooms are used for. 

SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS IN JUNIORS

11/26/2018

 
As part of Science Weeks the students in Junior Infants decided to do some experiments.
EXPERIMENT 1:LAVA LAMP
​For this we needed oil, water, food colouring and alka seltzer. We learned that oil and water doesnt mix but putting  alka seltzer into the mixture pushed bubbles of colours through the oil.
EXPERIMENT 2:RAIN CLOUD
We half filled a bowl with water, then put the shaving foam on top of it. This made it look like a child. We dropped some blue colouring onto the cloud and when it was full it fell to the water, in the same way rain would.
EXPERIMENT 3:DANCING RAISINS
We put some raisins into tap water and nothing happened, they stayed at the bottom. However, when we put raisins into soda water they started to dance. 
EXPERIMENT 4: SKITTLE RAINBOW
We arranged some skittles in a circle on a plate. When we added hot water to the plate, magic happened, the skittles turned into a rainbow.
EXPERIMENT 5:RUBBER EGGS
When we passed around an egg if felt hard and cold to he touch. We put this egg into a container and poured in some vinegar. It was left soaking overnight and when we felt the egg the next day, it had turned to rubber.Science is amazing.

More Science week Fun

11/25/2018

 
Ms Moloney’s Class did some scientific work this week too. We watched the effect hot water had on skittles.
We tried to study how water travels up through plants. Just like tree roots suck up water from the ground and take it to their leaves, we hoped to seee water travel through celery. We added blue food colouring to the water so we could see the changes. Unfortunately this experiment did not work for us.

science week

As part of Science Week two scientists from First Class, with the help of Ms Gavin showed us how to blow up a balloon using hot water and yeast. The boys in Junior Infants learned words such as yeast, inflate, steam and control. They can't wait for us to try some of our own experiments.
