Mr Flanagan’s and Mr Donnelly’s classes enjoyed a shared reading session on Friday. We buddied up between classes and picked lots of nice things to read. Looking forward to doing it again soon!

TUD Chess & Game Society
6th Class attended a chess and boardgame workshop in TUD today. They were taught the fundamentals of chess by volunteers of the TUD Games Society. They were also introduced to a number of other games and had a fantastic time playing together.
Science experiment – dancing food!
Second Class have been learning about the science of sound this week. We learned that sound is vibration that travels in waves through matter and we can hear this with our ears. We can’t see these waves but to test they are there, we used sound to make rice dance!
We made drums using bowls and cling film (we discovered the tighter the better) and placed the bowls next to speakers. Then we played a synthesizer sound through the speaker. Different volume and pitch (or frequencies) made the rice dance more or less, sometimes even dancing off the drum completely! We also got to have a go of a synthesizer. We had lots of fun with sound!
