Fourth Class-Ms. Broderick
Welcome to Fourth Class
The Science Adventure continues!.......
Fourth class received an invitation to return to St.Tiernan's science lab for a further two lessons.
We visited the lab on Friday the 15th and 22nd of April and what an exciting time we had.

The children learned how to magnify objects using a microscope.
They recorded their observations by sketching at magnifications of X40, X100,X400

In our second lesson the children explored a list of metals and their reactive nature.
check out our AWESOME pictures!!!

ROCKS
we discovered that rocks can be classified into 3 main categories:
1. Igneous
2. Sedimentary
3. Metamorphic
These categories tell us a lot about how the rock was formed.

The children have been carrying out rock investigations to test for strength, magnetism and weight. Texture and colour was also recorded through observational drawings.
Merry Christmas from Fourth Class!

SAY CHEEEEESE!
4th class have been studying all about Ancient Rome.
We researched the lives of the Romans such as their origins, daily lives, homes, work, military, trade, constructions, faith and beliefs, pastimes and cultural and artistic achievements. Each child then carried out their own individual project on Rome.
Below are a selection of posters the children designed to advertise a Gladiator battle to be held at the colosseum.

Fourth class were recently invited to take part in a Primary School Science initiative designed by St. Tiernan's Community School.
Our Science lessons were delievered by science teacher Mr.Curry over two consecutive Fridays in St.Tiernan's science lab.
The children worked scientifically using the skills of questioning, observation, predicting, analysing, investigating, recording and communicating to answer the two questions posed.
Experiment one: 'Will 'the bounce' of a squash ball be effected by temperature?'
Using a bunsen burner, a squash ball was heated repeatedly by 10 degrees and 'its bounce' recorded.
Experiment two: The children learned how to magnify objects using a microscope.
They recorded their observations by sketching at magnifications of X40, X100,X400.

The children were asked to participate in a very exciting experiment! To conduct electricity!
A human chain was formed by standing in a straight line and holding hands.
One brave person was needed to place their hand on the dome(Van de Graaff generator). Samuel very bravely voluntereed!
Electricity was transmitted which was met with great excitment.
