5th/6th class learn about conductors and insulators of heat

Miss O’Loughlin’s 5th/6th class are back to work investigating which materials act as conductors and which act as insulators of heat. So far, we have experimented to figure out that metal is the best conductor of heat. Check out the pictures of our experiment.

We have a challenge ahead – to design and make a cup holder to keep the teacher’s and SNA’s cups of tea warm on cold days….watch this space!

We rock!

5th class undertook a rockin’ study this week – not rock’n’roll, nor Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, not Chris Rock or The Rock.

We collected and examined different rocks and did some research to find out what types of rocks the were.

We learned that there are 3 main different types of rocks – igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. We learned how each is formed and we found out which of our rocks belonged to which group. It was a very interesting project and we really enjoyed using the encyclopedia to figure it all out.

Christmas Carol Service

The School Christmas Carol Service took place today in the church. Thanks to all the parents who came along to watch. We hope you enjoyed the beautiful singing and reading by the children. Happy Christmas to you all!
