Well done to our pupils who were recognised for their extra efforts to speak Irish in class and around the school this week! Ar fheabhas go léir!

Today in 4th and 5th Class we looked at mirrors and lenses. Curved mirrors and lens can be concave or convex.

Concave mirrors can be found on spoons. Did you ever notice when you look in a spoon you appear upside down?

We used a torch and a concave mirror to see why.

Check out why below in the picture we took.

We also looked at concave and convex lenses.

Check out what happened when shone light through a concave lens and light spread out.

The children in Mr Smyth’s 4th and 5th Class have been learning about Light in Science this month.

Check out the pictures below of our experiment looking at refraction (bending of light).
