We completed an investigation to test which ramp would make a car travel the furthest. Check out our pictures!

We started off our year with a fun project on the Respiratory System. We all played an important part in our group projects carrying out research, drawing diagrams and even carrying out breathing experiments.  Have a look at our work in action!

Thank you to all the children in the Hollies, who made this year brilliantly fun! Best of luck in 6th class.

Here are some photos from Gymnastics, our trip to the Curragh, Bizworld & Science Experiments which were some of the highlights of this term! 

Bizworld was definitely one of the highlights of our year. Two employees from the Bank of Ireland came to our school and told us all about business. We had to create our own companies & marketing material and pitch these ideas to the "dragons". Fourth class came into our classrooms to bod their "biz bucks" on the idea which they thought was the best. We had great fun and learned a lot about finances. 

We had a brilliant time at Lilliput Adventure Centre, in Westmeath on our school tour. We did rock climbing, kayaking, bog hopping, orienteering & games in the woods.
