Safety on the Road

This week is Safety Week in school
 
 Today we learnt about safety on the road. We did the Safe Cross Code Song and added in the actions.





Safe Cross Code

Look for a safe place
Don't hurry, stop and wait


Look all around...
and listen..
before you cross the road.


Safe place, STOP.....
and wait..
We know the code!!!

We played the game of roads and arrows .




 We received Hi Glo Silver certificates and took the pledge to wear reflective clothing and to make sure others do the same.
Be Safe Be Seen



We got lots of road safety treats because we know the code.

Science experiment- Fun with Marbles

The theme of Science Week 2013 was exploring the XTRA-ordinary.We were invited  to explore, investigate and learn more about the amazing scientific things happening around us in our everyday lives.

We carried out the experiment from the Science Week website called Fun with Marbles  http://www.scienceweek.ie/assets/media/Resources/Primary%20Schools/activity%20sheets%20Fun%20with%20Marbles.pdf 

We investigated what do you think will happen if you roll a marble along a flat surface so that it hits a second stationary marble?
