Happy Easter everyone!

Christmas Play:

Our wonderful cast from our Christmas play, No one wraps like an elf 🎄🎅🏼 

International Kindness Day:

It was international kindness day on Sunday so we talked about ways we can be kinder to eachother in the school. We set up a secret friend challenge to try to implement it even more. Then we completed our “Be the I in Kind“ art.

Happy Halloween from a scary/cute second class.

Report Writing:

This term we are busy learning about report writing. We worked on group reports before choosing our own individual topics. The children planned out their reports, used their iPads to gather research and then typed them up. They also presented them to the class. 

Science & Art Integration:

We were busy learning all about our bones and muscles in science class. We then decided to create a skeleton whilst also recalling the names of the bones in our body. This artwork also tied in with our Halloween theme. 🎃 

Science & Art Integration:

We enjoyed experimenting by mixing the primary colours to make secondary colours. We then turned our colour wheels into eyes in an art lesson 👁 

Maths Week:

Interactive Activities, games and quizzes 📚

We had some very exciting visitors in school today. They got us very excited for the match tomorrow. Best of luck in the final Dunmore McHales💚🤍

Space Week:

The children had a lot of fun during space week learning all about the planets, moon and stars. 
They created some wonderful space rockets and new plants to top off the week of learning. 

September Work:

We had a busy September in second class. Here is just a snippet of what we did.

We had Roald Dahl Day where we learned about his life and all his achievement. 
We also had Dot Day, we used the book The Dot as inspiration before we created our artwork - make your dot and see where it takes you. 

In SESE, we learned about where we come from and about the people in our community who help us. The children created lovely street maps of Dunmore.

In art, we created a back to school Schoolbag Monster which we really enjoyed :) 

We have also started our autumn theme. The children have brought in lovely bits for our nature table which inspired us to created some autumn trees.

A new school year begins :)

Huge congratulations to one of our star pupils who nearly cleaned them out in Dublin at the All Ireland Dancing Championships. Well done, we are all very proud👏🏻🥇🏆

Science:

Second class had to design a ship that would be able to stay afloat on water. They did a fantastic job creating their fabulous masterpieces. Well done to all👏🏻
