Merry Christmas from 2nd class 

  

The children enjoyed Science Week. They were very excited to see the different animals and they even held some of the animals when the mobile farm visited the school. We did a lot of experiments during the week. We made playdough, learned about our heart and measured our pulse before and after exercise. We joined the children from 1st, 3rd and 4th class to do the egg drop challenge which was great fun. The children also enjoyed the planetarium where they learned about the planets and the stars.

Beautiful Autumn Colours
The children in 2nd class are very artistic and made fantastic Leaf prints as well as beautiful Autumn trees using pegs and pom poms to create the colourful leaves. 
  

 

 
Myself and My Family

The children have been very busy over the past few weeks learning about themselves and their families.

They drew Self Portraits in Art, learned about Mo Chlann in Gaeilge, wrote about themselves during English and History as well as studying their Family Tree and creating a timeline of their lives so far. 

 
  
 
 
It's beginning to look a lot like Autumn in 2nd Class

The children brought in blackberries, acorns, conkers, chestnuts and leaves for our Nature Table.

The children are excellent at art and completed lovely leaf rubbings as well as Autumn trees.
