Making a Lighthouse

What we need: for this experiment you will need

• A shoe box/tray
• A cyclinder object
• 3 long wires
• 2 paper clips
• 2 batteries
• 1 battery holder
• 1 lightblub holder
• 1 small light blub
• A yourgut carton
• Paints and art supplies (optional)

Method:

• Firstly you need to start by making your circuit. Place the batteries in the battery holder.
• Attach the red and black wires into the battery holder. Next unscrew the screw either sides of the light blub holder and place the 2 of the wires wires under the screws and screw the screws back down with the wires under.
• Now you should have a gap in your circuit this is where you attach your paper clips.
• Cut a hole in your shoe box and slide the cyclinder down it.if yiu would like decrote the cyclinder and the shoe box but before you do that bring the circuit up the tube so that the light blub is sitting saflety on top.
• If the light blub is not light when the two paper clips are attached your circuit is faulty
• Now it is time for decoration , decorate your light house any way you would like.

What happened and why: the light blub light when the paper clips attacked because it allows the current to flow through the circuit and when you take them apart the circuit brakes whick stops the current flowing through the circuit.

We played 4 matches we won 2 and lost 2 so altogether we were pretty successful.

The girls were also very successful as they got into the final but lost 2-1.We were all still very proud nonetheless.

Camogie Championship

On Thursday the 23^rd of May we went to Ardrahan pitch for the schools camogie championship. It was a seven a side competition. We had to be at the pitch for 9:00am so it was an early start.. The first thing we did was went into the dressing rooms to get are jerseys. I was number 9.

 On the team was Ellie, Erin, Grainne,  Orlaith, Katie, Grace, Edel, Meadbh, Béibhinn, Lauren, Erin, Clodagh and Eimear. In our group were Ballyglass, Kiltartan and Gort.

 First we played Gort and we won that match. After that match we went back into the dressing rooms to have a team talk and eat a little snack. Next we played Kiltartan and that meant we were through to the semi-fina.l We were against Ballyglass. This match was to get into the finals in Loughgeorge. Ballyglass were the toughest and strongest team we played. Everyone tried their best but we lost our match. Overall I had a great day. Ballyglass went to Loughgeorge on the 11^th of June for their final. Sadly they lost.
