Visit to Teddy Bears Hospital

We had such a great day at NUIG meeting people who were training to be doctors. They asked us what was wrong with our bears and wrote a prescription on a piece of paper. We then queued up to get our teddys an X-Ray. After that we went over to the pharmacy where we showed the prescription and they gave us some fruit to eat.
We also had fun things to play with. There were two bouncy castles, hoola hoops and our favourite of all-Face Painting!!!
We had a fabulous day...... Thanks to all the doctors of the future and NUIG!

Design a bridge

Today we looked at different kinds of bridges, some have wires, some have arches and some have towers. We tried to make a bridge using a sheet of paper between towers of blocks. We discovered that the bridge was too weak with just paper so somebody decided that we needed to use something stronger as the road over the bridge. Here are the things we tried and the results we got:

The lid of the block container............................ very strong

Paper by itself....................................................very weak

Paper with the sides turned up........................... very strong

Paper with an arch under it.................................very strong

Card .................................................................weak

Move the tower blocks a little closer and use the card................................strong

Have a look at the photos to see our results

Watering our daffodils

We know that all plants and flowers and bulbs need water to grow. Yesterday we gave our flowers a huge drink of water because we won't be in school to feed them for a long time.Teacher will pop in next week to give them more water ....
