An t-Earrach
Tá muid ag lorg comharthaí go bhfuil an t-Earrach ag teacht mar tá muid ag glacadh páirt sa tionnscnamh Greenwave don ghradam Discover Primary Science and Maths.
Chonaic Gráinne síol froganna in a páirc agus thóg sí pictiúr iontach chun é a thaispeaint dúinn. Tá sé beagán aisteach mar tá an síol suite ar féar atá fliuch. De ghnách, feiceann muid síol froganna i locháin uisce.
Chonaic muid sceach geall le bachlóga beaga ag tíocht air, díreach in aice na scoile:
Nuair a bhí muid ag siúl síos bhothar Pheadair, chonaic muid sabhaircín buí ag fás ar thaobh an bhothair chomh maith:
How Nurse Evelyn uses science and maths in her work
Today Evelyn the community nurse came to our school.
She told us all about her job. She works as a midwife and a nurse. She goes to people’s houses if they are sick.
If they are sick, she takes their blood pressure, and checks their pulse.She took Kian’s blood pressure just to show us how to do it. We all took notes. And at the end we asked each other questions about it.
She brought in a syringe, it’s used for measuring blood. The syringe starts from, 0ml to 20ml. You need to know maths and science for this job. It’s really important.It was really interesting learning about how she uses maths and science in her life.
She also brought in a stethoscope, she went around the class, checking our heart beat. It was really cool.
It was really cool having Evelyn in to our school. And was really interesting learning how she uses maths and science in her life.

Evelyn’s Visit
Last Friday a woman came to our school. Her name is Evelyn Doherty. She is a nurse and a midwife.
She is from the community. She came in to talk to us about how she uses science and maths everyday in her job. It was very interesting!
Evelyn looks after a lot of people, young and old. She brought in a syringe and a stethoscope everyone got a look at them. She told us about all the things she has done for her job. She also told us that most of the things she weighs are in kilos. She said that her most challenging job has to be being a midwife because you have to look after two people at once.
We were told to write down notes. Later on Kian got his blood pressure checked with a blood pressure monitor.
A little while before Evelyn left, we all got a chance to try out the stethoscope. It was really cool.
I really enjoyed Evelyn’s visit. It was very interesting!

Evelyn is a nurse and a midwife👩. She goes around to houses and helps all the people that are sick and need care. She also helps mothers when they are pregnant.
Evelyn also helps the mother after birth. Maths and Science are very very important in Evelyn’s job. She needs maths for weighing and measuring and she needs science for all the medications. She said that she would be lost without maths and science.
She told us about all about her job(s) and what she had to do. She said that you have to be a very good listener to be a nurse and a housewife.I think Evelyn’s job is great and I love how she helps so many people, I hope she will come to talk to us again.

The visit from our local nurse.
Today we had a visit from Evelyn our local nurse. She uses lots of maths and science in her work.
She showed us a syringe and it had ml on it.
She told us about hypothermia and if you get cold you might get it.
She told us our heart beats 72 times a minute.
When you have a pain in your throat sometimes the doctor takes a swab and sends it to the laboratory for investigation and they see what bacteria is causing it.
Evelyn uses a cuff to check blood pressure.
When a baby is born Evelyn has to weigh them to see if they are healthy or not.She uses the scales to weigh how many kilograms the baby is.
After 3 days Evelyn takes a little bit of blood from the baby’s heel.

Our trip to the Fire station
On Thursday I went to the fire station . The fire mans name was Joe. He showed us the jaws of life and the fire engine. He put on all of his gear including the oxygen mask and tank. He turned on the beeper. It was very noisy. He showed us pictures of the factory fire. It lasted 4 days he told us. They had to use all the foam in Mayo Sligo and Roscommon.

Water week 2014
Last week was so much fun! We were learning lots about water. We learned all about the water cycle which was great fun! We learned some songs about water and did lots of estimating and measuring with water in Maths. We also enjoyed doing lots of experiments based on water such as floating and sinking, dancing raisins, lava lamps, alkaseltzer pop and much more. We even measured how much air was in our lungs using water. It was really cool! All the Mums and Dads had a good time during our Open Water Day in school! They were very happy when they got to take home a tub of Eco friendly hand scrub! We hope we can do another water week soon!

Maths week – Junior Room
Maths Trail Junior Room on PhotoPeach
Last week was maths week. We did loads of fun things . On Monday we guessed how
many teddy bears were in the bucket. Ava won she guessed one hundred and ninety
nine . She was the nearest .On Tuesday we tried to think how much water was in the bottle
but the hard thing about it was the bottle was not full. So we had to guess less than half of the
bottle . It was very hard . But we soon found out that Amy and Kirsty won. We were very happy for
them. On Wednesday we guessed the weight of the book.The book was very heavy for its
size . Michael won. We were delighted for him we clapped and clapped. On Thursday we
guessed how long the string was. John Anthony won. He was amazed and very excited
to get his prize. Then on the following Monday we did a maths trail. The leaders were Miss
Reilly , Miss Garvin , Amy and Ailish. They were very helpful. Miss Garvin was my teams
leader. She timed us when we had to run around the school. Laoise was the fastest. It only
took her 19 seconds to run around the whole school ! !. Another fun task was when we had
to weigh how many beads was the same as a pack of cards. I loved maths week and I
hope we do it next year again. By Siobhan .
