Ms Hill's Second Class

December has been a very busy month! We have been very busy practising and really enjoyed performing our Christmas Play "Prickly Hay." Each one of the girls and boys should be so proud of all their hard work. They were absolutely fantastic on the day and acted, danced and sang their hearts out! Super job everyone! Christmas jumpers on and looking very festive as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. Nollaig Shona daoibh go léir!

We have been learning all about winter. We know it can be a challenging time for birds so we decided to put our designing and making skills to good use to plan, design and make bird feeders in a bid to help keep their hunger at bay. We look forward to keeping watch to see if any of our feathered friends stop by for a nibble!

We had lots of fun during Science week - mixing liquids, investigating with magnets and working together to make balloon rocket racers!

 Plenty of fun was had for Halloween!

We made clay pumpkin pots and look forward to painting them so we can bring them home at mid-term to show our families. We really enjoyed making matching lids. 

During Maths Week the girls and boys in 1st and 2nd Classes had the opportunity to take part in a Zoom Maths Quiz hosted by Michelle Culloty of Maths Chats. The children had great fun with the problems posed and it was lovely to see the collaboration and use of maths language among them all. 1st and 2nd Class also went on a Maths trail around the school grounds and had fun using their Maths eyes counting the number of wheels in the car park, spotting 2D and 3D shapes and counting various objects. Second Class had fun making Figure Me Out posters for Maths Week. We thought of all the numbers connected with ourselves and came up with Maths clues so our classmates could work out things like our shoe size, our favourite number, the number of countries we've visited.
