Christmas Fun in Room 4
Room 4 had a lot of fun on their last day of school before the Christmas holidays. They have worked so hard this term and earned themselves a treat which was a lovely hot chocolate party to get us all in the Christmas spirit.
We also had great fun during the Christmas Raffle. Everyone was delighted with their prizes. Thanks to Paula and all our staff for organizing a great raffle.
Happy Christmas from all in Ms. Brennan’s Room 4.

Spreading Christmas Cheer
In Ms. Doherty’s 4th Class we took part in the carepack.ie initiative where we made Christmas cards for residents in a care home in Dublin. Today we visited the post office to post our letters. We wish everyone a very merry Christmas!!
Bee Bots in Room 4
We had great fun using the Bee Bots this week in Room 4. We programmed the Bee Bots using different sequences to make them move forward, backward, right and left.
We have been working on fractions in Maths and once we had solved the answers, we coded the Bee-Bot to move to the correct answer.
We also created different tracks using lots of turns and we then programmed the Bee-Bot to complete the track by solving the sequence.
Upcoming School Closure
St. Malachys will be closed on the 12th of December to facilitate a staff in-service day.
Science Week Fun in Ms. Brennan’s 4th Class
We had great fun this week for Science Week. We did lots of experiments and completed many fun STEM activities.
We caused a chemical reaction by pouring Mentos into a bottle of Coke, creating an explosion.
We dissolved Skittles using warm water. The warm water caused the sugar and food colouring to dissolve which created a rainbow of colours.
We also created a moving car using a motor and electricity circuits.
