Our science experiment with potatoes
We learned that the potatoes that did not have salt in them turned dry, grey and mouldy, while the potatoes that did have salt in them were left with a lot of salty water in them.

Our Banana experiment
Using a cocktail stick to bruise the banana skin some of the cells become damaged. This allows oxygen from the air in to the cells leading to oxidisation which in turn turns the skin brown

Pottery workshop with Marta
We made lovely pottery houses out of clay with our Artist in Residence. Firstly we designed our houses on card and then transferred this design into the clay model which was dried over night in a kiln before we painted our designs. I t was so enjoyable making pottery.

GREEN FLAG ACTION DAY
On the 17th February we had our action day as part of our 4th green flag - the travel flag. Charli dressed up as a green flag and lead our whole school on a great walk. It was great fun with the 6th class girls leading the way. We had a very important Green School's Committee meeting with Camilla from Kildare County Council. Camilla was very impressed with all our hard work - our travel noticeboard and all our travel activities and surveys.
We are so delighted to now have our 4th Green Flag. Well done to everyone especially our Green School Committee for all their hard work. On the 25th of May 2016 some lucky committee members will get to travel to the Helix to collect our 4th Green Flag and enjoy a nice day out!

AUTHOR JAMES DURNEY
On 25th February we had a visit from a local author called James Durney. He gave us a lovely presentation about Kildare and 1916. We discovered lots of new facts about Easter 1916 in Kildare and we got to examine and wear the British soldier and freedom fighter uniforms and look at guns and artillery. This was really interesting for us as we were reading 'Guns of Easter' by Gerard Whelan as part of our One Book One Curragh. We walked down to the Army Museum the following week and had an excellent guided tour. We found it very interesting.

October 2015
6th Class have settled in well and have been very busy so far. We have focused on Irish history and we are very excited about getting our Irish Flag on the 6th October.
We are keeping a close eye on the Rugby World Cup – each following our own team. Our projects on our countries are almost finished! Well done girls!
Countdown and Don’t Mention It are our two favourite games at the moment.
On the first of October 6th class really enjoyed getting creative with K-nex from Kildare Library. Some fabulous creations – monster trucks, giraffe, ice-cream, a rocket and much more were made. Such good fun. Have a look at our great work! Check out Big Ben!
Well Done 6th Class!
In art we completed our profile pictures. What a good job we did.
