Science Week 2024
We celebrated Scienceweek this week in 2nd class. We had a visit from Claire from the heritage council who showed us some hereos that live in our gardens. It was interesting to hear of some local wildlife in danger of extinction like the dragonfly , bumblebee ( not honey bee) and bats. We identified some mini beasts from outside and examined them with our magnifying glasses. We used all our 5 senses this week and enjoyed some experiments along the way.

Maths Week 2024
We have been having great fun in 2nd class using our " maths eyes", counting and exploring maths in our environment . We started our week with a maths trail around the school getting a little help from our friends in 4th class. We solved some daily math problems given to us by 5th class on the intercom. Seeing as Halloween is on the way we made some bats from 2 D shapes and looked at angles in our classroom. We also enjoyed playing some maths games in the class. Have a look at some of our photos from the week .
World Mental Health Day 2024
Today we celebrated World Mental Health day by exploring all the different kinds of activites we can do to help us feel calm. Some of us like to do breathing exercises, going for a run, meditating , pizza massage, dancing, listening to music and being in nature. We took part in a mindfulness activity making a mandala from natural objects. It helps you focus the mind on a specific object and helps with concentration. We tried to use radial balance where you start at the centre and build out. We hope you like them as much as we enjoyed making them . All the school went on a mile with a smile and we got to chat with our friends in 3rd class .
Native Irish Trees
This week we were learning all about native Irish trees. Our friends from 4th class joined us to research some facts and we enjoyed doing some leaf rubbings . We found a beech, ash and sycamore on our school walk and we are bringing in some autumn leaves and items to make our nature mandalas next week.
