Welcome to our new Second Class pupils!
We have been so busy in second class and we have done so many nice things since September! We started off learning all about 'Mé Féin' in Irish. We created lovely Autumn Tree art.
The children have been learning how to do procedural writing and wrote some lovely recipes. They also learnt about writing letters and each child posted a letter to a child in first class - the first class loved receiving their special letters!
The children have been doing really great at 'Spellings for Me' and they are getting so good at using the iPads. Each child has been logging in and listening to stories on 'Epic' books.
Mr. McCarthy has been helping in second class aswel and he did some beautiful singing with the children. They had great fun practising with him! They did some lovely baking on his last day, yummy!
For 'Climate Action Week' the children listened to a lovely story on Zoom from author Oisín McGann, they then illustrated a drawing with him. They did really well!
The children have been learning how to use oil pastels and made beautiful oil pastel pumpkin pictures. The following week they made some very scary looking oil pastel monsters! They're all so artistic in second class!
Maths week is the week before midterm and the children are doing super investigative maths homework at home. Each day we are doing maths stations in school which the children are really enjoying. They are playing maths games on the iPads, working with patterns and construction and having fun games of Snakes and Ladders. On Friday they will do a maths trail around the school.
Each week the children enjoy their PE lessons, we have been playing lots of games and have gone on some lovely walks to the pitch.

Christmas in Second Class!
We have been having lots of fun getting ready for Christmas in Second Class.
Elvis the Elf is looking after us and checking that we are being really good! We are trying really hard to be kind this month and each day we are opening a new window of our 'Kindness' Advent Calendar.
We are learning two Christmas songs and a poem, we will perform these on the week of the Christmas holidays - we love singing!
Last week we made lovely 'Christmas pudding' cookies, they are delicious. We have also been creating some lovely Winter art including snowmen clay pots, pastel robins and little cribs made out of egg boxes. We are learning about Christmas around the world and have also been learning a lot about penguins!
We had fun decorating the classroom and it looks really lovely and festive now. We are learning about 'An Nollaig' in Irish and have been busy little shopkeepers learning all about money in maths!
Christmas Performance!
On Tuesday 21st of December the children did their Christmas performance which we recorded in school. They sang 'Run Run Rudolph' and 'Need a little Christmas'.They also recited a poem called 'The Grinch'.
The children put a lot of practise into their performance and they did absolutely amazing - well done second class, you are fantastic!!

World Book Day and Science week
We had some great costumes in second class for world book day - from Gangster Granny to Horrid Henry and lots of GAA players! The children did some paired reading with 4th class and we watched a live zoom with an authon, it was a great day!
We also had lots of fun for Science week in second class, the children learnt about wind energy and made their own mini pinwheels. They also engineered paper playgrounds and had lots of fun being super creative!
