Taking fingerprints. -Detective work


We learned how to be a detective. 


We rubbed  the finger over the pencil mark, this will make a dark mark on the finger. 

Stick the sticky side of the sticky tape on the fingerprint and gently pull the tape away. 

Stick the tape onto a white piece of paper.

Repeat the process using a few different fingers, often a thumb will have a more detailed print, however, this really varies between people.


Our findings were everyones fingerprint is unique.

STEM SHOWCASE

We held a show case of their recycled materials models project. It was an excellent opportunity for the children to explain their models and how they made them. They were also presented with prizes for their work. Actor Jermery Irons heard about the model of Kilcoe Castle and invited Jacob to the castle with his model to tell him more about it.  Fourth class presented their STEPS Young Engineers project to JB Barry Engineering a firm who are based in Co Limerick through a zoom call. It shows how the children are able to explain their work successfully through a video call if an inperson visit it not possible.  Any time we have carried out science experiments throughout the year the senior room will show their work to the junior room and vice versa. This creates great excitement as they love to show what they have learnt to each other.  The older children would visit the younger classroom to see their work on bridges and allow them to explain how they made them and what th...
