We had a fantastic time celebrating STEM Week in Second Class!
The children enjoyed a visit to the annual Science Fair hosted by Rang a Sé, where they had the opportunity to explore science in action and discover lots of exciting ideas. They also put their mathematical skills to the test by taking part in a Maths Quiz alongside the other Rang a Dó and Rang a hAon classes. To finish off, the children headed outdoors for a Maths Trail, where they explored their surroundings and discovered how maths can be found all around us! It was a fun-filled week of exploring, problem-solving, teamwork and learning through STEM!
We had great fun during our LEGO class with Jessica! The children got creative as they built their own bees and flowers using LEGO. They used their imagination, problem-solving skills and creativity to bring their designs to life. It was a wonderful hands-on learning experience, and we loved seeing all the fantastic creations!
The girls in Room 6 have started learning how to play chess! We began by exploring the pawn and learning how it moves around the board. Over the coming weeks, we will be introducing the rook, bishop and knight.
Chess is a fantastic way to develop problem-solving, concentration, critical thinking and strategic skills, while also encouraging patience, perseverance and learning through play. We can’t wait to learn more!
The girls took part in a fun STEM challenge where they had to work together to save Fred the Worm! They used teamwork, communication, problem-solving and creativity to complete the challenge. There was lots of excitement, laughter and some fantastic teamwork along the way.
Welcome back to school! Take a look at our lovely new Second Class in Room 6! They have all grown and changed so much, and it has been wonderful to see how excited they are for the year ahead. They have settled in so well already and are making a fantastic start to the new school year. We are looking forward to lots of fun, learning, laughter and new adventures together, and we can’t wait to get to know each other even more!
