Maths Trail – Measurement
4th & 5th class got more experience in measuring the length, width and height of objects on the school grounds.
Indoor Hurling
Our boys team travelled to Martinstown today to participate in the South Indoor Hurling blitz.
The boys lost to a strong Hospital NS side in the opening game but followed this with a draw against Bruree NS and wins against Ballylanders NS and Athlacca NS. Well done boys.
Attention now turns to the camogie which takes place next Tuesday.
4th/5th Class Investigate Friction
The pupils of 4th & 5th class had great fun investigating friction using matchbox cars.
The children used a ramp to launch the car and measured the distance it travelled on different surfaces. They also explored the classroom to look for textures which were rough or smooth.
