We have had a very busy first term in 2nd class. We got to take part in Creativity in the Classroom! Using clay the class designed all different animals and created a zoo enclosure. They also used different drawing tools to create fabulous pictures. As part of Creativity in the Classroom we also got invited over to Goldenbridge Cemetery for an art exhibition, and we had great fun!
For Science week we engaged in different experiments. The first one was to create a bridge that wouldn't collapse holding a copy book and the second one was making a parachute for an egg. The excitement in the classroom while participating in these experiments was electric!

We have Been very fortunate to be one of 7 schools to receive ‘Free to be me’ Little Library of approximately 100 books.

Children’s Books Ireland aim to build a love of reading. The ‘Free to be me’ project enables our students see themselves reflected in a book, as well as learning about the lives of others, who’s experiences and perspectives might be different from their own. Here is just a sample of the books. The little library is on display on corridor 3. Each child in our school will also receive a book of their own to take home before Christmas.
