Science Week

Over the last couple of days we have been doing various experiments for science week. We investigated the weight of potatoes, tried to identify seeds from different fruits, guessed the weight of a pumpkin and of course had a paper aeroplane competition! Today we went on a visit to the school hall where there was a selection of stations for us to explore. Some of the things we did included examining different fruits, identifying insects and dinosaurs and looking at the different parts of the body. Have a look at the pictures below!

Some more pics from our Halloween Walk .....

Halloween Sponsored Walk

We had great fun today on our annual sponsored walk. All the children dressed up in amazing costumes. We walked around the town to show off our fabulous outfits!   

We had a competition for the best homemade costume. Ross as a Minecraft character was a worthy winner with Mia as a zombie and Sean as Thor selected as runners - up. There were some other excellent costumes on display; especially the homemade ones. Spiders, vampires, pirates, zombies and even Lar Corbett were all to be seen walking around Balbriggan!

Thanks to the parents who assisted us on our walk also!

Well done to everyone and have a Happy Halloween!
