We’ve been very busy in 5th Class for the last while – here’s what we’ve been up to!
We have some new friends in our classroom! We got a fish tank and got help from our friends at Bray Sea Life to set it up!
Aisling and Pauline from @braysealife are teaching us so much! We are excited to get our tank set up! #5thClass pic.twitter.com/g4xlGfpQhB

This week we’re taking part in Engineering Week – and had a special project!
We’ve started #engweek17! We built a word wall, looked at the work of engineers and we prepared for our afternoon challenge! #5thClass pic.twitter.com/8kgipCJ35I

For our challenge we joined forces with 4th Class for our project – to build a Lego car and see how far it could travel using a hairdryer.
Our goal is to design and make a lego car that will move. We will test how far it moves with a hairdryer! #5thClass #engweek17 #4thClass pic.twitter.com/sOtMSbtFTj

We’ve started our ‘Write A Book’ projects. We’re excited to develop our stories. Our focus today is on beginning, middle and end. #5thClass

We are learning about immigration and emigration cycles into and out of Ireland from 1950 to the present day. #5thClass

@StPetersBray That’s very impressive! How long did it take to master the handstand? We can’t do it 😅 G5-G7
