We were astounded by the results of our Bread Experiment. This experiment has proven that washing your hands with soap and water is the most effective way to kill bacteria and germs. This is so relevant to us at the moment as we meander our way through a global pandemic of Covid-19. Hand Sanitiser is good but soap and water is best.
Our school tablets had alot of bacteria and the mould developed very quickly on this test sample. We need to be sure we clean our tablets on a regular basis- the same goes for our other classroom materials.
This experiment was really interesting and we really enjoyed seeing it unfold.
See gallery for the results from our recent bread experiment.
The Senior room are working on the Our World Irish Aid Awards 2020. Irish Aid is the Irish Government’s aid programme to fight world hunger and poverty on behalf of all the people of Ireland. Irish Aid helps to improve the lives of the poorest families in eight focus countries- Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
The programme covers the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. We will then chose one Goal and create a class project in response to one Goal. We will keep you updated as we progress with our project.
We had a wonderful workshop with Simon O’Dwyer from Ancient Music Ireland last week. He took us through the history of Irish music from 8000BC to today. He introduced us to instruments like the stone whistle, beat stones, the bone whistle, the flint trumpet, a bow harp, the ram horn, the goat horn, the bull horn and the shell horn. We also learned about the frame drum (first bodhrán), the bronze horn, the celtic tumpet and the iron hand bell. It was a really great workshop and we learned many interesting facts about our past too.
Thank you Simon.
