We were all sorry today to say goodbye to Miss McVeety, who was teaching our class for the past 3 weeks. She did lots of interesting activities, particularly all about Italy and we had fun as well as learning lots at the same time.

Energy Day of Action

We are trying to get the second Green Flag for our school and the theme this time is Energy. On Friday we had a Day of Action, where-by we were highlighting the theme of Energy all day. We tried to use as little electricity as possible (all the lights were off); we did a survey on the types of energy used to heat our homes and we made up experiments to demonstrate the differnet types of energy. Then we brought these experiments into Miss McGowan's class and carried them out with the younger children.
