We then conducted an experiment to investigate the different ways of cleaning up oil spills. We also investigated the effect oil can have on birds feathers.
We also took part in a virtual science workshop and took part in lots of fun experiments where we learnt about

-capilliary action in plants and
-how water gets to our taps

Class Presidential Election
We have been following the American Election closely this year, and decided to have our own election for class president.
Candidates worked hard to perfect their election speeches and manifestos. They ran very successful campaigns coming up with excellent slogans, and tag lines. Their classmates worked hard to ensure their campaigns were successful producing election posters and flyers.
Prior to our ballot, our candidates went head to head in an election debates.
Well done Eoghan Conroy who won the election and is our new class president. He is already working hard to fulfill his promises and has already begun his work on organising lunchtime leagues for our 5th and 6th class.
