Today, the children in Mr Smyth’s 3rd Class went on a guided tour in the National Museum on Kildare Street. They had been learning about Vikings in class and today was a lovely trip to learn about Vikings in Ireland.

Today in their Try Five STEM workshop with Ana from TUD Grangegorman, the children learned about ecosystems and built their own terrarium- which they will bring home today.

A terrarium is like an aquarium, but for plants instead of fish. It is made in just about any glass container.

It is planted to look like a miniature garden or forest enclosed in its own little world. They had lots of fun!
