In second class, we have been spending time learning about all the trees and birds in Ireland. We went on an autumn leaf hunt as part of our homework and we set up an Autumn table in our classroom!
We have settled in very well into our new class this year! Second class have been busy learning to work together as a team completing different activities. We have been learning about the trees in Ireland, completing maths games and doing some amazing art!
June has been a busy and very enjoyable month at school. As the school year draws to close and as we finish much of our academic work we have had the chance to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather.
On Monday 15th we visited Blackrock Library, where we learned how to locate and borrow books independently.
Last week, we celebrated Active Week with a range of exciting activities. On Tuesday, we hosted our own mini World Cup, followed by athletics races in Booterstown Park on Wednesday. Thursday was spent enjoying a variety of sports and games in the school yard, with the bouncy castle proving to be a big hit.
To round off the week, we celebrated Multicultural Day on Friday, sampling a delicious array of foods from around the world. It was a wonderful week filled with fun, learning, and new experiences. We are now looking forward to our tour next week to Emerald Park!
May was a wonderfully busy and memorable month in 2nd Class. A special highlight was the celebration of First Holy Communion on 16th May, when twenty of the boys received this beautiful sacrament. We were immensely proud of how reverently and confidently they participated throughout the ceremony.
To celebrate receiving their First Holy Communion, the whole class enjoyed a delicious pizza party together. As an extra treat, each of us had the opportunity to make our own cake in a mug, which was great fun and a wonderful way to mark this special occasion.
In English, we have been thoroughly enjoying The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo. Inspired by the story, the we stepped into the shoes of the main character, Bertie, and produced thoughtful diary entries and letters based on events from the novel.
Our creativity also flourished in Art, where we explored Aboriginal art techniques and created vibrant pieces inspired by this distinctive style.
