Ice Skating

Posted on by

On Monday the 11th of December the two sixth classes went to Limerick ice skating rink. We left the school at around 10 in the morning. We traveled on a bus to Limerick with Colm, Mr. O’Reilly, Louise, and Souhila. When we arrived at the ice rink, we took off our shoes and gave them to the staff. They then gave us the ice skates and we put them on. It was packed and there were so many people on the ice rink. In total we had an hour to spend on the ice rink. Most of us had been ice skating before, so we knew how to get onto the rink. Some of us used penguins on the ice rink to help us balance, and then others skated around the rink. It was really fun. Almost everyone fell over at some stage and some people got soaked from falling over so many times! After the ice skating, we went to Arthur’s Quay shopping center and we had 15 minutes to go around before meeting back up again. We got sweets there to enjoy on the way back. To finish off the day we went to Newmarket playground and we spent around 40 minutes there. Then we headed back to school and it was almost home time.

We had a great day and we would definitely recommend ice skating to everyone, it was class!

STEAM workshop

Posted on by

On Tuesday the 21st of November, Niamh O’Dea came to work with the third class on a STEAM project. Firstly, she explained that she only had one shoe and she wanted us to make her another shoe. We were then split into groups of 5. She showed us a PowerPoint and went through all of the steps. We had to make a plan and figure out how to design our shoes. Each group had to measure her foot and her ankle, and we drew sketches of what we wanted to make. We had brought in materials like plastic, bottle tops, CDs, cardboard, and newspaper the day before. Then we set to work, and she only gave us 15 minutes to make the shoe! One of the most useful materials was cardboard as we could use it to make the shape of the shoe. Some of the groups also made logos for the shoe such as Nike, Crocs, etc. When we finished the shoes we all went outside to test them out. Niamh had to try on each shoe and see if she could walk across the yard. Some of the shoes broke, but most of them worked really well! We really enjoyed the workshop and we will be doing another one in December. Our favourite parts of the workshop were planning in our groups and building the shoes.
