The boys of sixth class were happy to receive a visit from Santa last week.


Our Science Week began with the class making a parachute out of zip lock bags. Firstly we cut a large square out of the ziplock bag. We then cut the square into an octagon shape. We made two little holes on each side of the octagon which were parallel to each other. Then we tied a string to the holes and attached an action figure. We dropped the action figure from a tall height and the action figure parachuted. In the second experiment, we tried to squeeze an egg in the palm of our hand. We were surprised that it did not break! For our final experiment, we put eggs in vinegar and water and a chemical change took place to the egg in vinegar. Finally we had a fun science quiz to end the day off. Overall our class loved the fascinating experience of science week.
This week was Maths Week in Scoil Iosaif Naofa. In 6th Class, we read books related to maths concepts such as Geometry(Mummy Math, An Adventure in Geometry), Coordinate Geometry(Sir Cumference and the Viking’s Map), Ratios(Pythagoras and the Ratios), Angles(Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland) and Rounding(Sir Cumference and the Roundabout Battle) We also played some games such as snakes and ladders and a table quiz. We did maths problems as well. Today, we completed a sheet to do with following a code to plot dots to create a picture. I really enjoyed this week because the maths games and problems were really fun.

Ms. Lavelle’s class decided to raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation. The boys organised a Christmas Jumper Day and raised €300.00 for the charity. Well done to everyone for taking part and raising so much money for the charity.
This morning sixth class held a beautiful Advent prayer service.We lit the candles on the wreath and prepared our hearts and minds for Christmas through prayers, readings and song.
