2nd Class had lots of fun exploring a range of brushes and painting materials. We examined naturally occurring patterns and textures and tried to recreate these in our own way on large sheets. We hope you enjoy!

2nd Class trip to 14 Henrietta Street
2nd Class had an amazing time learning all about the historical building at 14 Henrietta Street. This is a fantastic museum showing the lives of the many different people that lived there in the past. Special thanks to our wonderful guide Gillian and all the staff at the Museum.
2nd Class STEM and Art
Mr Donnelly’s class have been busy studying 3D shapes and static electricity in STEM. We made models from nets and carried out science experiments with balloons.
We also studied Impressionism and the work of Claude Monet, before making our own Water Lily watercolour paintings. We hope you enjoy!
St. Brigid’s Crosses in 2nd Class
Mr Donnelly’s and Ms Leonard’s classes have been learning all about St. Brigid and making St. Brigid’s crosses, an important Irish Christian symbol. They are also a fun craft activity!
Coding in 2nd Class
We had lots of fun using Scratch coding platform as part of STEM in 2nd Class to explore the basics of computer programming. We hope to cover a few lessons to keep developing our skills. Scratch is free to sign up to and use. Maybe the children can show you at home what they can do!
Construction in 2nd Class
2nd Class were busy last week using cardboard and various fastening techniques to make different buildings. After visiting buildings in Grangegorman, getting architecture lessons from Emma and construction tips from Alex, we planned our buildings and used a little imagination and creativity in making and decorating them. We hope you enjoy!
Houses, homes and construction in 2nd Class
We have some fantastic parents in 2nd Class who have come in to share their skills and expertise with us as we continue to learn about the design and construction of buildings. Architect Emma has been coming in to explain what her job is about and to look at things like purpose, brief and planning. We went on to create drawings ourselves, following a range of instructions. Carpenter Alex came in to show us pictures of some of his work and he brought in lots of exciting tools too. Thank you very much!
