Here are the fantastic models made by the children in Room 12. These are based on books the children have been reading. It is clear that they put huge effort into this work. Well done!

Book Week 2013- Liam Farrell's visit to St. Catherine's N.S.

Today we were lucky enough to have another published author visit our school. Liam Farrell talked to us about his books (THE UN-TOLD STORY The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf) and explained how he creates stories from nursery rhymes

. He also gave us advice on how to become a writer. It was a very entertaining, informative talk.

Book Week 2013- Design a book cover. Design a bookmark.

As we are a Green School, we are always thinking about the environment. 

For Book Week, we thought it would be fun to create an ‘Environmental Superhero’. 

We created book covers based on these characters.

We wrote slogans to encourage people to be environmentally friendly. We decorated bookmarks with these.

Book Week 2013- Derek Landy's visit to St. Catherine's N.S.

It is Book Week. Yesterday we had a visit from Derek Landy, author of the Skulduggery Pleasant book series. He talked to us about how he became a writer and where he finds inspiration. He also told us some very funny stories. It was really interesting and enjoyable.

Science- Energy and forces

We have been exploring air resistance. We designed and made parachutes for our erasers. We tested these to see if they had any effect on how fast the erasers fell. 

Result: The erasers fell to the ground more slowly when they were attached to the parachutes.
