Junior Infants carried out some spooky Science experiments for Halloween this year! 👻

Dancing Ghosts 👻:

We explored static electricity in class. We rubbed balloons off of our hair and held the balloon over the paper ghosts. The static electricity made the ghost 'dance' 👻👻.

Making Potions 🪄:

The witches and wizards made some marvellous potions for Halloween. We explored the reaction that occurred when we mixed baking powder and vinegar 💥 alongside some spooky ingredients! It was very exciting 🪄🪄

Junior Infants went to the moon for Space Week 🌙🚀

In pairs we designed our rockets 🚀.

We stuck our rockets onto balloons which were tied with clothes pegs.

Each balloon was stuck onto a line of string.

When we shouted blast off, our astronauts released their balloon rockets and they travelled along the string! It was so exciting!! 💥

We have some budding astronauts here in Juniors! 👩‍🚀
