To celebrate the fantastic improvement in attendance and punctuality, the whole school was treated to a well-deserved Pyjama Day! Just before the Easter break, the girls enjoyed being comfy and cosy in their pjs. Our class put in an incredible effort during the attendance drive and earned some extra playtime as a special reward for their dedication to ‘be in the line at ten to nine!’.

Second Class enjoyed a fantastic planting workshop with Paddy Madden, who shared his incredible knowledge with the class. He taught the girls how to carefully thin their beetroot seedlings without harming the plants, and demonstrated how to measure spacing between plants using a dibber tool and string. The class is buzzing with excitement for harvest season and can’t wait to watch their garden grow over the coming months. They planted beetroot, spring onions, potatoes, and strawberries in their class bed.

We’re gearing up for our workshop with Paddy Madden. This year, Second Class planted beetroot, spring onions, and strawberries, and we’re excited to harvest them in June, just before the summer holidays.

Spring has finally arrived, and we were all excited for it! The girls went on a scavenger hunt using their five senses to find signs of spring around the school. They also took part in National Tree Week, exploring the trees around our school grounds to discover more springtime signs.

The girls had an amazing time celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge, engaging in a variety of activities all week long. They enjoyed playing games with Coiste na Gaeilge and joined in the Céilí Mór on Wednesday. On Friday, they had the chance to use the language during their Maidin Caife. Each day, there were prizes for the girls whose names were drawn from the Bosca Glas in the classroom.

Second Class celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as their favorite characters from beloved books. The girls participated in reading activities and enjoyed a World Book Day quiz throughout the day. They had an amazing time!

The girls of Second Class, together with Fifth Class, hosted the Whole School Assembly for February. The theme of the assembly was love, and the girls got everyone singing along to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story.” They shared updates about various events and achievements by students throughout the school and also celebrated February birthdays. The girls did an amazing job, speaking clearly and confidently. The assembly concluded with a lively performance of “Accidentally in Love.” You can watch the performances by following this link: https://www.bunscoilbhride.ie/february-assembly-2/

Love and friendship were in the air in Room 6 on Valentine’s Day. The girls decided they wanted to choose a secret friend for the day and treat them with extra kindness.

This week, Second Class has been exploring length and area in maths through various investigations. They selected different units of measurement to measure the lengths of items around our classroom and school. Using cubes, lollipop sticks, their hands, and even their bodies, they measured the size of various objects.

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome our amazing grandparents to Room 6 at the end of January! The girls had been diving into the fascinating world of school life in the past and couldn’t wait to hear all about their grandparents’ experiences. So many delightful stories were shared, creating a fantastic opportunity to compare their classrooms across generations. The girls proudly took their grandparents on a tour of the classroom, showcasing all their wonderful work! The visit reached a spectacular peak with a dazzling performance of ‘One Short Day’ from Wicked. It truly was a fabulous morning filled with joy and excitement!
