In Science this month we studied the four main bridge types: Cantilever Bridges, Beam Bridges, Suspension Bridges and Arch Bridges.
As a STEM challenge we tried to design, plan and build the best bridge using our knowledge and skills.
The requirements for the bridge were that the bridge was to span a gap of 15cm and it had to hold the weight of 5 €1 coins. 
Check out the pictures to see how we got on!

 The challenge set was to create a boat that could hold the most amount of passengers. We all made boats over the course of a fortnight and tested them in class. Have a look through the pictures to see how variant and different they all are. All of our boats floated but some held more passengers than others. Some children even took it upon themselves to create boats with motors and remote controls! The talent and effort out into all of them was phenomenal! 

The boys and girls in the Strawberries eagerly awaited Santa's visit. We collected money for the children in Temple Street and got festive wearing our Christmas jumpers. 

Our class made a huge effort for the Witches' Walk.  We had such a lovely day before the holidays. We even enjoyed hot chocolate as a lovely treat for all our hard work! Well done everyone. 

The Strawberries have aced their multiplication, so we decided to have some fun with maths stations. Have a look at all the different activities we did. The games got quite competitive but we all really enjoyed them.

We went on our School Tour on Friday 15th June. We went to Let's Go! in Kilcullen Community Centre. It was the best day ever!! Our favourite things were the rock climbing, human table football and air mountain. 

Room 20 made their First Holy Communion on Saturday 19th May at 11:30. We all had a fantastic day! 

We have done lots of fun activities this week for Seachtain na Gaeilge. The last one was our fashion show this morning!  

We loved eating lots of fruit and vegetables as part of the Food Dudes programme. We are going to make a big effort to keep it up! 

We had so much fun learning to play the bodhrán! 

The Strawberries are very excited to have started 2nd Class in Room 20!
