Time Travellers

This blog outlines the project-work the children in Inver National School are undertaking as part of the Inver 125 celebrations.

The school was built in 1885 and we are trying to find out what the school was like then, who the people might have been and how they lived. We also want to investigate major events that happened either locally or internationally since 1885 and we hope to create a timeline to follow these events.

To help us in our project, many children (and adults too) have become Time Travellers. They have become daring reporters and have undertaken many interviews with members of the community as they try to get a snapshot of life since 1885. Follow our Time Travellers as they uncover the past and bring it to life.

Back to school.

We are all back at school again. Some of us are in a new classroom. We have two new students in our school now. Their names are Eve and Hannah. We use the DSs now. I had a fun summer holidays. We went to England and stayed with my cousins. There were nine kids and four adults. When we were on our way back we missed our plane. I was worried. We waited another few hours. And then we took the boat!

Today me and some other children went on a nature walk and collected some stuff. Over the summer me, my Mom and my sister, went to Dublin. We went to the Zoo and we saw all the cool animals. Then later we went to see a Glee concert.

Green products.

Green products.

Yesterday we made some environmentally friendly cleaning and beauty products. Green products are made from natural products and will not pollute the water or the air. Padraig and I made an air freshener using one cup of water and 4 drops of lavender oil. It smelt nice. Hayleigh, Alanna and Padraic made hand cream to make your hands soft everyone in the class tried it. Sean and Leah made a window cleaner and washed the staffroom window for the school. We had great fun making these and hopefully we willmake more.

The

End.

Spaghetti Bolognaise

Spaghetti

spagI am going to talk to you about how to make spaghetti bolognaise because we made it at school last week. First you cut the onion and garlic. Heat a little oil in a saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Then you add the meat, stir it until it goes brown then put in tomatoes and tomato puree, give it a stir. Cook for about 40 minutes. Put the pasta in another saucepan and cook for 10 minutes. When that’s done you can leave it to cool for a while. Then you eat your very own spaghetti bolognaise. ENJOY! YUMmmmmmmm.

Lemon Battery


Two weeks ago we put a zinc washer and a copper coin into 3 lemons. We joined them up: zinc to copper. We attached a LED bulb connecting the long leg of the LED with copper. The bulb did not light up. When we tried again and again. Eventually it worked and the light lit.
The zinc washer and the copper coin are electrodes. The juice is called electrolyte.

Kinect + Scratch

padraig

Link to short videoVideo showing how we connected Scratch with Kinect

We started working on our Scratch programming after Christmas and then this new game  came out it was called The Kinect and you could use it for the Xbox 360.

Our teacher Mrs Connolly went to a conference and she found out about connecting  Kinect with Scratch.

When the teacher came to school the next day she told us about using Kinect on Scratch.

A few days after Mrs Connolly got the Kinect for Scratch.

 Then, when she fekt we were ready to try it for ourselves, the teacher tried it at home till 1 o clock in the night and she couldn’t get it to work. So she emailed Steven Howell. He was the one who set up the program. Steven emailed her back in 10 minutes.

The next morning she tried it again at school on her own laptop and it still didn’t work. Then she tried a different laptop ( it was my laptop from the school ) and it worked! It was break time so we went outside. We came in and tried it again and it worked again. We tried it later in the day and we had great fun with it that day .

To see how we did it, you need to visit http://stephen-howell.tumblr.com/ who shows how to do it.

Soccer Blitz

Soccer Blitz.

On Wednesday, May 17th, 4th 5th and 6th classes went to Carne for a soccer blitz. We left the school at 10 o’clock.

We got to Carne at about 10:25. The teacher found out what pitch we were playing in. We were in pitch 4. The first team we had to play was Barnatra. There was only 1 boy on their team and the rest were girls. They were very good

I played in backs. We won the match 6-1. We were very happy but we had to play Pullathomas next and they were an excellent team.

We lost the match against Pullathomas. We were very disappointed. We played against Barnatra again and won. Then we had to play Pullathomas again and we lost.

We got to the semi- final and played against Eachleim but lost.

On the way back to the school we stopped in the shop and got some sweets. We had a great day at the soccer blitz.
