The Hasbro Decorations


On the 16th of December five people from our classroom got picked to go up to St. Georges Court in Waterford City. The school had to make decorations to hang on the Christmas tree in Waterford. Every decoration that we brought was hung on the tree and every decoration that was hung tree Hasbro were giving a board game to a children’s charity. The five people were Claire, Julie, Liam, Mark and Naomi. Breda and Kathleen brought us to Waterford. When we were finished hanging up the decorations we had our photograph taken by Kathleen and Breda. We were given lollipops for everyone in the school and we sang a Christmas song for the lady that worked for the Hasbro Giving Tree. When we were hung up the decorations we went to Burger King to get something to eat. After that we went home. When we arrived back at school we told everyone about the trip and gave them their lollipops. We had a brilliant day we hope we can participate again next year.

Our 4th Green Flag

Our 4th Green flag was based on Transport. We had to try and get people to cut down on CO2 emissions, ways of doing this was to get people to walk or cycle short distances. We tried to get people carpooling. For a week in every term we did a transport survey. We encouraged as many as possible to walk or cycle to school. We got all our families and the community to become involved in reducing our carbon footprint.

All our hard work paid off when the Minister for environment and local government Mr. John Gormley hoisted our 4th Green Flag in June 2008. We also prepared a power point presentation of our progress in the last 8 years. Mr Gormley gave a speech after the power point. When he had finished his speech, Junior Infants presented him with the flag and they got their photograph taken with Mr. Gormley.

All the pupils, teachers and parents and relatives went outside to see Mr Gormley hoist our 4th green flag. When he had hoisted our green flag we went inside and the adults went into the hall for tea, cakes and sandwiches. While the pupils went down to a classroom where we were allowed watch a film called Mr. Bean’s holiday. We were given orange and a packet of crisps we were also given buns and biscuits from the hall. We were then allowed to go home with our parents when they were leaving. It was a very successful day.

The Rainbow Spinner


On the 6th of November we came into school and the boys went to a match. Sir said we were going to do an experiment on the rainbow spinner. He gave us a piece of cardboard each. We used our compass to draw a circle 5cm radius. We were put into groups of two. The two groups in sixth class were Mallaidh and Julie and Bridgette and Claire. Sir gave us two wires, a battery and a motor. We had to make a circuit so we joined the two wires onto each side of the motor and the battery on the other sides of the wires. That made the motor move. We then put the rainbow spinner on top of the motor and it spun around. The colour we saw was white because white light is the seven colours of the spectrum. What we were trying to prove here is that the seven colours of the spectrum made white light. Nobody knew if this fact was true so we experimented on it. It seemed that it is true. Every one was amazed. Now they knew what was going on and they understood that the seven colours of the spectrum make white light.
