                         Comórtas Eolaíochta
​
Bhí comórtas eolaíochta ar siúl i gClár Chlainne Mhuiris ar an 18ú de Shamhain. Chuaigh  dá fhoireann go dtí ostán McWilliam chun ‘parachute’ a dhéanamh. Bhí a lán scoileanna eile anseo. Bhuaileamar lenár gcairde. Fuaireamar a lán milseáin agus pinn luaidhe agus pinn. Bhí tríocha nóiméad againn. Fuaireamar mála mór, mála beag, ‘string, straws’ agus ubh. D’úsáideamar siosúr chun an string a ghearradh. Ba ghearr go rabhamar chríochnaithe agus scrúdaigh na fir iad. Fuair na buachaillí an chéad áit. Bhuaigh siad geansaí, buidéal agus cárta d’Eason. Bhí sceitimíní áthais orthu. Bhaineamar go léir sult as an gcomórtas. Bhí na múinteoirí an- bhródiúil as na bpáistí go léir agus ní raibh aon obair bhaile againn.

                      Constructing Parachutes
On November sixteenth 2016 we won a science week competition. We built a parachute for an egg using a bin bag,8 straws, 2 m of string, a sandwich bag and an egg.
It lasted for 3 seconds before the egg hit the ground.
We cut open the bag using a scissors and cut 4 holes in each corner and then cut 4 pieces of string and tied them to the holes in it and then tied the bag to the parachute and then put the egg inside the small bag.
We came first in Mayo in the 4 regions.  We won jumpers, speakers and bottle.  There were 25 other schools there. We won by 0.3 seconds.   We were very proud of ourselves.
