On Science Week, we learned about two female Irish scientists, Maude Delap and Cynthia Evelyn Longfield. We learned about our lungs. We did two experiments: we made an egg float in water and we showed that air takes up space. Here are some photos of our air experiment.
We learned that Henri Matisse used a scissors as a drawing tool. We were inspired by his art and we made some cut-out pictures.
We have been exploring the properties of 2D shapes. We created squares, rhombus, rectangles, parallelograms, pentagons, hexagons and octagons using matchsticks.
We have been reading 'Under the Hawthorn Tree' by Marita Conlon McKenna. We used clay to make cottages like those in which families lived during the Great Famine.
Our Advent Clocks are helping us to prepare for Christmas.
On week one we listen, on week two we help, on week three we visit and on week four we pray.
We made Christmas cards for the residents of Hazel Hall. 
We made magical Christmas jumpers from felt!
