Our Mad Scientists discovered the result of mixing Vinegar, Washing-Up Liquid and Baking Soda today.
(Much to their surprise, by the looks on their faces & the squeals of excitement that could be heard through the school!)

need to CLEAN THEIR EARS!!???
The Senior  Classroom used cotton buds to create skeletons.  Aren't they very effective?

​Seo iad na buaiteoirí sa Chomórtais Nath na Seachtaine agus  Chomórtais  Seanfhocal i mí Dheireadh Fómhair.

The pupils took inspiration from
the artwork of the famous artist Pablo Picasso
to create some scary looking Picasso Monsters.

Lots of different layers of coloured card, and various  embellishments created the desired effect.

Don't they look fantastic!! Very appropriate for this spooky time of year!

This week our budding electricians experimented with  making simple electrical circuits using a 1.5v battery to light a 1.5v bulb.

Not content with that, they then went about exploring whether or not a 1.5v battery could power two 1.5v bulbs & they discovered that in fact it could, although the bulbs glowed much more dimly.

Still not satisfied, they then set about seeing if they could blow the 1.5v bulb by putting too much power to it. They added two batteries to the circuit, (3v) and observed that the bulb glowed very brightly, but it did not blow.  So they added another battery to the circuit, (4.5v) and observed that the bulb  was extremely bright at this stage, but it still didn't blow.  The class decided at that stage to allow the bulb to  survive.  

Our pop stars are finished &  are ready to rock 'n' roll!  What an interesting looking bunch!
