What we learned

We learned that throughout history, there were always engineers. If there weren’t any engineers there would not be any phones, game consoles, planes or even boats or ships. Engineers are an important part of our lives.

We learned about the different types of engineers. There are lots of types of engineers. Mechanical engineers, structural engineers, civil engineers and aeronautical engineers.

We learned how to work with K’nex and Meccano. We had lots of fun!

We planned a City of the Future and are more aware of the work engineers do to make the world safer and better.

We learned about landfill sites and how a Mechanical Biological treatment Plant works.

We know lots about Irish inventors and how important their inventions are. We will all be watching to see if the Viking 550 team break the land speed record in 2012. We worked together to write and decorate our ‘A Drop in Time’ story.

We learned about the water cycle and we made a big chart to illustrate the water cycle. We also learn to work together. Over all we learned lots and it was lots of fun!!!
