This week we’ve been very busy in 2nd Class. We had a wonderful tour of Collins Barracks with a brilliant guide Clare. She showed us about the history of Gaelic Games as well as lots of other interesting historical facts!

We also went on a field trip to see what biodiversity we could find in Grangegorman park. We couldn’t resist a trip to the playground too of course!

In Maths, we have been continuing to learn about measurement and exploring mass and capacity with fruit, vegetables and water. Lots of fun!

2nd Class had a wonderful time at TU Dublin Grangegorman on Thursday. As part of the TU Dublin SPACEFest, we got to visit the Armagh Planetarium Mobile Observatory Dome. Inside we were shown around the Universe by our guide. We were amazed and got to ask lots of questions. Thanks to Ríona and Rok for facilitating.

2nd Class have gotten new library cards and really enjoyed using them today. Just look at these bookworms! Thanks to Ms Delaney and all the adults who helped catalogue books and set up the new system.

A few weeks ago we made sock puppets in 2nd Class. This week we had a lot of fun (and made a bit of mess!) making theatres for our sock puppets. We used MS Paint to design some backgrounds on the laptops, and then added paper, glue, paint and other decoration to create our own special stages! Afterwards we had a lot of fun making up little shows with our puppets.

2nd Class have been busy studying fabric and fibre and have designed some fabulous sock puppets! We used socks, felt, buttons, needles and thread and glue. Sewing is hard work but most of us managed to sew on a piece of fabric or a button. Now we have these cool fabric friends to play with!
