This week we have been learning about fossils. There are 3 ways fossils can be formed. The first way is when insects fly into to tree sap, the tree sap then preserves the insect for thousands of years. The second way is when large animals in the artic get frozen and then the ice turned into stone and the third way is when animals die under water and the lays of earth big up. We made fossils by using clay and plaster of Paris, we had to leave them for 24 hours, then the next day we took them out of the plate and some of them worked (some of them broke).

We also have been learning about young children with genetic disorders. We have learned about lots of different disorders such as: Albinism, Cystic Fibrosis, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Sickle Cell Anaemia and lots more. We worked in groups to find more out, each pupil got assigned partners to find to what some of these things are.

In Maths we have been doing problem solving, we all found it very hard
(except from Malachy). We had to solve a murder mystery (it was Jerry Sohato). We worked in partners to solve it.
