Time

Thoughtful Tuesday

Today’s gratitude focus is on how others have been helpful to you. Over time we can take for granted the help others give us. It can be as simple as a note saying someone is thinking about you to a big as teaching you how to do something new.

STEM Challenge for the Week (Engineering Week)

 Explore pollination and seed dispersal – Make a seed model

Watch this video about the seed dispersal. Maple seeds glide down slowly and can be carried by wind to land far from the tree it grew on. Make and design your own model of a maple seed like the example in this video.

• Can you make the design better?
• Would longer wings be more efficient?
• Write about how you made your models, and pictures of the results – did you create a better model?
• Measure the length of the wings?
• Does the length of the wings make a difference to how they glide?
• Don’t forget to write a conclusion – summarise what you have learned.

Tell us in the class collaboration powerpoint and we will present them on Friday.

Research Project for the Week – Native Irish Trees and Shrubs

Around 12,000 years ago, Ireland was covered in snow and ice. This was known as the Ice Age. As the weather became warmer, the snow and ice melted and trees began to grow. The seeds of trees such as hazel and oak were brought here by birds and animals, across the landbridges from Britain and the rest of Europe. The seeds of other trees, such as willow and birch, are so light that they were blown here by the wind.

Eventually, the seas rose, the landbridges were flooded and Ireland became an island. Our native trees are the trees that reached here before we were separated from the rest of Europe. Our most common native trees include oak, ash, hazel, birch, Scots pine, rowan and willow. Eventually, people brought other trees, such as beech, sycamore, horse chestnut, spruce, larch and fir to Ireland.

• Read about lots of different native Irish Trees and Shrubs, pick your favourite and do some additional research.
• Write a report on your favourite on our class collaboration Native Irish Trees and Shrubs Powerpoint and you will present them on Friday to the class.
• Remember, write you own sentences – do not copy full sentences from the internet.
