Librarian

Today Debbie (the school librarian) told us all about her role. The girls asked lots of questions. We enjoyed learning more about her job. Thank you Debbie.

Literacy for Fun

We had lots of Parent volunteers for Literacy for Fun. Thank you so much for coming into our classroom and playing games with us. We had so much fun.

Halloween Art

Art- Mixing colours

This month we are focusing on mixing colours in art. We really enjoyed seeing the effect adding white and black had on orange/red.

Laptops

Laptops were the highlight of our week.

GAA

GAA has started back with Colm from Parnells. The girls had great fun showing off their skills.

The Five Senses

Today all of 2nd class went on a sensory walk in the playground. They were excellent at using their 4 senses( we left taste out). Some girls heard airplanes, an alarm, dogs barking, etc. Some girls felt the smooth metal, the rough bark on the trees. It was really wonderful and the girls loved working in groups sharing their knowledge.

Library Visit
Thanks to Debbie our wonderful Librarian who explained how to use the library and she even let the girls scan out their own book. We will visit the library every Monday to read some new books and change our book.

The Aistear room

Today we went to the Aistear room with all the 2nd class girls. It was super fun. The theme in the Aistear room was my home which tied in nicely with our family topic.
