Nollaig Shona Daoibh!
A very special visitor came to the classroom this month. Snowy the elf stays with us every day and goes back to Santa every night with stories from the day. We love finding her new hiding place every morning. Santa Claus himself came to visit on Monday. We were so excited to see him and he even gave us presents.
Last month, we took part in Science week. We love Science and had great fun trying out different experiments every day. We made lava lamps, investigated optical illusions and made thaumatropes. We created a rainstorm in a jar and had our own Science Show. Everyone got the chance to demonstrate their own experiment. It was an amazing show!
In Geography, we talked about what we do at home at Christmas and discussed Christmas traditions around the world. We learned that many Australians have Christmas dinner on the beach. We thought that sounded fun.
In Literacy, we have been learning the poem Once There Was A Snowman. We also learned how to write Limericks and composed some great ones of our own. We have been exploring Persuasive writing. We have some very convincing arguments for why Santa should give us presents this year. 2nd class love DEAR time. We are great readers and are so proud of how much our reading has improved.
We have been working hard on Gaeilge again this term. We love singing songs as Gaeilge. Our favourites are ‘Seamaisín’ and ‘Mac Uí Ghogaí’. We explored the themes of ‘Bia’ and ‘An Nollaig’. We learned lots of new vocabulary and are working very hard on verbs. We are super at putting our verbs into sentences.
2nd class have created fabulous art work this term. Inspired by badgers and foxes which we learned about in SESE, 2nd class made amazing woodland prints with markers, water and tin foil. The colours are just beautiful! We also made super snowmen, really cool reindeer ornaments from clothes pegs and lovely angels using paper folding.
We had the pleasure of streaming the puppet show ‘How To Catch A Star’ presented by the Lime Tree Theatre. It told the story of a boy who dreamed of having a star as a friend. We really enjoyed the show!
What a great first term we have had! We would like to say a special thank you to Sharon, Catherine and Ms. Quinn for all the help they give us each day.
Happy Christmas and A Happy New Year from Second Class!! 🎅🎄
