Maths Games 2013

The next round of Maths Games will begin on Wednesday March 6th at 9am for Ms. Whyte, Ms. O’Leary and Mr. Gallagher’s classes.  The children of St. Gabriel’s have shown in the last few years that not only can we have great fun playing Maths games, but that we can also consolidate and develop the Maths skills that we have learned.  We always welcome and appreciate the involvement of parents and hope to see you there!

Creative Inventions in Miss O’Loughlin’s Class

5th/6th class designed our own inventions. It was fun.
We had to design our own inventions for homework, and one girl even made her invention, “The Animal-o-walkie”. It allows people to understand their pets and all other animals too. Our teacher asked us to come to school with our inventions that we designed in our homework copies. Since then, we have made a flying skateboard, a magic flying school bag, a potty for dogs, a future football machine and a hovercraft.
We ‘ve also learned a little about some famous inventors and their amazing creations, like Thomas Edison’s lightbulb, Percy Shaw’s cat’s eyes and Francis Rynd’s syringe.
We are now able to learn more from our FREE World Book Day books “Tony Robinson’s Weird World of Wonders – Funny Inventions”.
