Today, Miss O’Loughlin’s class had great fun in maths, estimating and measuring the capacity of bottles, cups and also a a 16 litre bucket.

[Show picture list]

We found out how much a mini-cup measures – which is 200ml. We found the maximum capacity of a kettle was 1.7 litres….but….after we filled the kettle up to the top, guess what happened?…… The water started to leak out of the kettle!! We had put 2700ml in….that was a whole litre too much!

Then we measured the capacity of the carton of milk and that one was 190ml. Teacher’s water bottle holds 750ml.

Finally the bucket – everyone of the children got to fill the bucket! It was great fun and we really enjoyed doing it!

Winners: Zimbabwe

Runners-up: Morocco

A big thank you to all those who part and to Ian and the FAI for their help in running the tournament.

The atmosphere was tense but in the end Lithuania did enough to win the tie and push ahead of Ireland. In the second game the hard work of Ronald Krok saw Benin beat Romania and leap frog Ireland to claim second place.
