We have been learning about the Solar Eclipse this week!
Today we actually got the chance to see it using our solar eclipse viewers!

Over 90% of the sun was covered by the moon!

Some of us even made our own and we were able to see the reflection of the eclipse!

‘The solar eclipse was so cool!’

‘I loved it!’ said Heather.

 
Nico said ‘I made my solar eclipse viewer with a shoe box and tin foil. It worked!
It was fantastic!’

 
Sarah thought watching the Solar Eclipse with her viewer was ‘so fun!’

The next Solar Eclipse isn’t till 2026! We will all be 18 years old!!

P2.2 have been learning all about robots.
We were given a design brief and created our own!

First of all we had to plan what our robot would look like and what junk materials we could use to create it.
We also gave our robot a purpose: what they do in the world to help us.

Then we started creating it with junk modelling.
In the design brief it says the robot cannot be bigger than 60cm! So we used our maths skills to measure and cut it to size.

Next we used paper mâché to form the shape of our robot!
We liked it because it was very messy!

After that we painted our robots using silver, bronze and white.
Through out the whole process we kept looking back at our plan to make sure we were following it.

Finally we finished it off by adding eyes and a mouth.
We hope you like our final product!

Heather and Nico’s robot is called Shiny. Her job is to help the girls tidy up their room!

Matthew and Daniel’s robot is called Superdog. The robots job is to save people
just like a superhero!

Millie, Ella and Sarah’s robot is called Katie. She plays with us!

James and Reid’s robot is called JR. He is a footballer and is able to play any position!

Andrew and Eva’s robot is called Jack. He is a teacher and is so clever!

Today we were raising money for Comic Relief!
We made our face and hair FUNNY FOR MONEY!
We managed to raise a total of £464.86!!!

Even the teachers got involved!

We designed our own red noses!

Millie even got the chance to paint Miss Gilleades face!!

‘It was sooo fun! I made Miss Gilleade look like a clown with a beard!’

There was lots more painting going on!
All the teacher’s in the school put their trust in one of the pupils
to paint their face Funny for Money!

Thanks to everyone who donated and helped us raise so much
money for Comic Relief!  Not only did we raise lots of money for Charity,
we had a great time doing it!

Thank you, From P2.2 x
