We were busy yesterday as the first of February rolled in and so too did a new season - Spring. But, there is even something more special about the 1st of February and that is St. Brigid's Day! We created our very own St. Brigid's crosses and went to mass in the morning where our crosses were blessed. Check out the picture below!

Here we are planting crocuses, bluebells and snowdrops with Gerry in the garden. 

​Ms Cox’s second class had lots of fun planting seeds with Gerry. We look forward to watching them grow over the coming months and year.

We were busy exploring 2D shapes with geoboards in maths this week.

​Busy busy with mangahigh for the global maths week challenge.

Ms. Lavin's 2nd class have been busy in maths today. We have been doing lots of hands on activities practising our place value! Check out some photos below:

​Welcome to Ms. Lavin's 2nd Class Blog. Here we are on our first day in our new class. Come and visit us here often where we will keep you updated on what we get up to!

​Summertime in school means lots of time for outdoor fun and of course, the one day we had all been waiting for- our first communion.

June is always one of favourite months in school and active week is always the highlight. He had a great time all week. Monday was run day funday- we walked the block and ran laps of the school- we definitely got our steps in that day. On Tuesday we had an all day sports day! Wednesday we had circuits in the hall as well as watching the teachers beat the students in the annual races. On Thursday we were so lucky to have Suzanne from the tennis club coach us in the tennis courts. On Friday, we had a whole school Zumba lesson and watched some more students vs teacher action in soccer and basketball.

1st and 2nd classes went to Fort Lucan for their school tour this year. It was the first tour for second class since junior infants and the first tour ever for first class. It was even the first time some of us went on a bus!! We had a great day from start to finish. The weather was perfect and we had great fun in the playground, on the go-karts and especially on the water slides!! After lots of treats it was time to go home and we were so tired most of us fell asleep on the bus home. We can’t wait for our next tour!

Ms Cox's class had lots of fun this week practicing their Irish dancing. Check out their performance here, along with some pictures of them on Lá glas
