Ms Mulryan’s 3rd class have been learning about the Normans in history. They enjoyed learning about Motte and Baileys and the weapons used during this time. They visited Trim Castle, where they were brought into the armoury and got to hold different weapons. They loved the tour around the castle.

Ms Tobin’s Third Class: Engineering Week
This has been an exciting month for Third Class. We were fortunate to have engineers visit us
and give a talk on water. These engineers specialised in water. They showed us how water is
cleaned after being stored in a reservoir. The engineers demonstrated this through an
experiment. The engineers got two plastic cups. One was filled with sand, chopped pepper,
coffee filter, rice, chickpeas. The students had the opportunity to fill the plastic cups with water.
This cup was placed into an empty plastic cup so that the water could drop through. Each group
had a discussion as to what was happening with the water, how it was being cleaned and
compared it to the process in which water is treated. After the experiment was conducted each
group had the opportunity to share with the class what they had learned. Each boy enjoyed
learning about water treatment. The class then had the opportunity to ask the engineers
questions. The class were delighted to learn about engineering and what it is like to be an
engineer.
Last week was engineering week. As part of this the class were given a project. Students were
put into 4 groups and had to build a bridge, a rocket, something that floats and something that
flies. The class really enjoyed this project and were excited to display their projects in class.
