The girls have been immersing themselves in the holiday spirit at school this past week. They took on the challenge of decorating Christmas trees during P.E. and worked on Christmas-themed art projects in class. They also completed their carepack letters and attended the Bake Sale organised by the Student Council.
This year, the girls began learning to play the tin whistle, and they have put in tremendous effort throughout the term. They showcased their impressive musical talents at our whole school assembly by performing Jingle Bells.
Second Class had a fantastic time experimenting with Beebots. The girls worked wonderfully as a team, collaborating to design obstacle courses for their Beebots while also showcasing their coding skills.
The girls put on a spectacular show in December when they performed ‘Christmas with the Aliens’. The girls put in a tremendous amount of work and it all paid off as they got everyone in the Christmas spirit.

We started Friendship Week by choosing a ‘Secret Friend’ for the week. The girls learned the friendship week motto ‘The only way to have a friend is to be a friend!’. The girls celebrated the week by chatting and relaxing with their friends in the classroom while listening to music and eating treats.
The girls of Second Class had a very busy week during Science week. They engaged with the online class from Science Foundation Ireland and completed the ‘Soil in my Pants’ experiment. The girls wanted to find out how healthy the soil is around our school so they chose two locations to test on the school grounds. They then planted a pair of pants in each location (these are made from cotton). The girls will dig up the pants in January to see how they have held up or if we had very hungry worms in our soil. They joined forces with Ms. Freeborn’s class and investigated famous scientists that were displayed around the school. Using the QR code next to each scientist, they learned lots of facts about these famous inventors. They also visited the Science Fair held by Sixth Class. They got to witness explosions and test items that float and sink.
The class celebrated National Tree Day on the 3rd of October by going on a nature walk around our school. The girls identified lots of different species of trees such as oak trees, horse chestnut and apple trees. They also noticed how the leaves were changing colour and falling on the ground as a result of autumn.
We are so delighted to introduce you to our Green Schools Committee for 2024/25. These girls are so enthusuastic to spread our Green Schools message and work towards our new goal of Nature Restoration. The committee members are from 1st to 6th class. The girls are such an asset to our school in keeping our school litter free and encouraging the whole school community to be mindful of waste and looking out for all of the ways we can live in a cleaner more sustainable way.
Katie Carpenter from C.P.A. visited our class amd treated us to drama, dancing and lots of fun. The girls had the opportunity to learn a full dance routine and learn some lines from the movie ‘Trolls’.
Welcome to our class blog. We are so excited to keep you up to date with all of the wonderful things we will be doing this year.
