It's all about water!

Ms. Condren's class are having great fun in maths this week - the topic is capacity so it's been a wet time! We are learning about litre measurements and experimenting with lots of different containers. We are also getting quite good at estimating! We are guessing how many egg cups will fill a litre jug, how many glasses it takes to fill a basin and much more! We are linking our water theme to our work on lighthouses in geography. Did you know that there are over a hundred lighthouses in Ireland? We looked at Hook Head lighthouse in particular and learned lots of interesting facts about it. You should check out our lighthouse pastel pictures that we created in art class! We are quite a talented bunch of artists. Check out the corridor outside our classroom for our pictures - we may even post a few of the best ones on our blog tomorrow! Watch this space!
