News from 2nd Class

We have been learning about 3D shapes and length in Maths in Ms. Olson’s class. We made cubes, cuboids and pyramids with cocktail sticks and marshmallows and we measured different things in our school including the length and width of our classroom and corridor.
We also enjoyed our last session with Coach Ian from Bar Monkey. We worked on developing our gymnastics skills by doing frog stands, bridges and hanging from the bar.
We are very creative in Second Class. In November, we learnt about Space and made lovely sponge painted planets. We have also been doing lots of Christmas art. We made snowmen, advent wreaths and Christmas tree suncatchers. Our classroom has had a Christmas makeover and we have a special visitor, our class elf, Mistletoe.
Finally we performed ‘The Night Before Christmas’ for our parents at the beginning of December and did a fantastic job. Everyone was so proud of us!

Mr. Higgins’ class have been working on projects about a country in Europe of their choice. They began their projects on the chromebooks and worked on them for a number of weeks before orally presenting them to the rest of the class.

Dance & GAA in Junior Infants

Junior Infants have been really active recently between Ball Skills with coach Steve and dance with Ms Casey. They have practiced many ball skills with coach Steve to get them ready to play Gaelic football. They also recently got a chance to try some hurling. This was very exciting as they got to put on helmets and use hurls.

Ms Casey has also started dance with them and they are really enjoying it. Each session starts with a warm up and the classes then get a chance to learn a dance routine.
