Calling all Minecraft fans

Are you into Minecraft? Yes? Well our very own Calum has put together some super (and helpful) YouTube videos explaining how he does in Minecraft. A big thank you and congrats to Calum for doing this, a pretty cool thing to be able to do, I think we'll all agree. Check them out here:

Magnets

Today we were learning all about magnets. We had two tasks to do. The first was to see how strong different magnets were, and we measured this by seeing how many paper clips we could hang from a magnet, which was taped to the end of a table. It was quite tricky to get them to stick together, and we needed steady hands! See if you can count how many we got to stick together.

 

 


Our second task was again about checking how strong magnets were, but this time we had to test them through different objects, like our desks and rulers, and see if they would stick pick up the paper clips. Some of the results were pretty cool!

Visitors!

Yesterday we found a poor hedgehog tangled up in the nets in the field. Luckily we spotted him and were able to cut him out of the nets, and off he went on his merry way. We spotted a couple of other wildlife animals there too!

 

 

Climate change

On Thursday, a man called Enda came in to teach us all about climate change and sing some songs to help us learn. We had a great time and learned a lot. Here he is singing a song about cows!

Easter eggs

For Easter we made our very own Easter eggs - from real eggs! Of course we just used the empty shells, and made sure that nothing was left inside the egg before we used them. Then we painted them in lots of colourful designs, and some familiar characters too! See if you can guess what they are......
