An Garda Síochána
We have been learning all about the Garda station recently. Some Gardaí from Ballincollig Garda Station visited Junior and Senior Infants our school. They spoke to us about road safety and their jobs as gardaí.
Postal Challenge!
We were learning all about the post office. Our mission? Find the safest way to send Taytos through the post and back to us without them breaking into tiny pieces. We used materials from our junk art supplies and asked Ursula for envelopes to send our packages. Once they were ready to be sent we wrote the address on the front and then brought them to be posted. After about three days they arrives back in the office. We tested paper, hard plastic, cardboard, tissue paper and tinfoil. It was interesting to see that some of them were very damaged and the crisps were like dust, especially the bag wrapped with just paper! The best was definitely the hard plastic lunchbox with the bubble wrap doing a good job too! As a special treat we even got to eat the Taytos when they were returned! YUMMY!
