2nd class had great fun learning about chemical reactions. To prepare for our science experiment we carved out pumpkins.
We put some bread soda into the pumpkins. We then mixed vinegar and green food colouring together.
When we poured the vinegar mixture into the pumpkins the bread soda and vinegar created a chemical reaction. The pumpkins began to vomit as the green foam flowed from their mouths!
The children in Room 2 have been working very well since returning to school and each week they look forward to Golden Time. One of our favourite Golden Time activities so far this year has been making chocolate hats. We used just three ingredients – chocolate, marshmallows and sprinkles. They were delicious!
Another Golden Time activity was a nature walk to the ATU. We took advantage of the last of the summer sunshine and had great fun spotting signs of Autumn. We found leaves of different colours, acorns, pine cones, berries and wild mushrooms.

Last Friday, 21st of June First and Second Class went on our school tour to Five Star Fun.
We had hoped to go to Rosses Point too but unfortunately it rained all day and we could not go.
This did not stop our fun and we had great fun playing, sliding and enjoying each others company.
Thanks to Michael and all the staff in Five Star Fun for a great day.
We ran a great workshop on cooperative games for parents and children her in St. Edwards for one day. First and Second class students and a parent were able to avail of this fantastic workshop in conjunction with Sligo Sport and Recreation Partnership. Both parents and children had a fun filled afternoon with plenty of laughs, new skills learned and some great ideas for games to play at home.
Our GAA coach Aran and a member of the under 21 Sligo GAA team came to visit us last week with a very special trophy!
There was great excitement around the school and everyone loved having a go at raising the cup.
Go Sligo!
