Science Blast, Seashore Exploration, Music Generation
Science Blast 25-5-23
The science blast was held in the Mary Immaculate College. We all woke up early to be on the bus at seven o’clock. Once we got there we set up our stall and went for a look around. Every school at the science blast had a question which they answered in their experiment, our question was “ Do Our Sense Get Stronger If We Lose One”. We did a lot of experiments such as sight and hearing, sight and touch, smell and taste and more. It was such a fun day and we all really enjoyed it.
Sea exploration
On Thursday the 1st of June all of Scoil Bhréanainn went down to the beach and explored all the sea life. We were put into our school league groups and had to find some creatures such as periwinkles or hermit crabs. When we got into our teams the teachers gave us these clipboards with some things we had to find (listed below). And where we found them. The locations were grass, upper shore, middle shore and lower shore. The creatures we had to find were hermit crabs, periwinkles, sand hoppers and some shells.
When we were done we were allowed to find other creatures and plants. For example, I found this huge crab, some sea spaghetti, and sea lettuce.
It was very fun and we all worked together in teams well I would definitely do it again : )
Music Generation
We learned the Ukulele with Darragh Lynch.
We learned the song Shotgun by George Ezra.
It was interesting to play a new instrument.
It is so funny.
Infants learned about various elements of music including rhythm, melody and pitch. 1st and 2nd learned the tin whistle and 3rd and 4th learned to play Shotgun also on the Ukulele. We all had great fun!
