We have been experimenting with materials that float and sink. We discovered that the size of an object is irrelevant. It is its density that determines whether it will float or sink. We also designed boats using material that would float.
As part of Engineer’s Week, we hosted at Lego Day at our school. Junior Infants were given Duplo instruction cards and asked to make a seesaw, a hockey player, a spinning top, a sail boat and many other interesting objects. Senior Infants were asked to construct stable bridges and towers. We learned all about building solid foundations!
At the beginning of the year children worked on their phonics and stretching words in order to hear the sounds within them. Now we’re working on sight words/tricky words. We play lots of fun games to help us remember them!
