To all our wonderful Mams and Nannies have a lovely day on Sunday xxx

2nd Class were busy attending art workshops in Marino, followed by procedural writing lessons back in Joeys. During maths the boys learned about fractions and the siopa was opened for the boys to count their money and check their change! John, the GAA coach taught the boys Gaelic football skills. Lovely music could be heard from Room 9 as the boys practise the tin whistle.  Rachel flipped pancakes and Brody celebrated his 8th birthday!

2nd Class are attending art workshops in Marino Institute of Education. The Spanish artist Vanessa Donorso Lopez has given the boys the opportunity to explore and create pieces using clay, chromatography, sgrafitti, wax resist to name a few!

It has been a busy month in 2nd class. The boys have enjoyed lessons about Hans Christian Andersen, the Story of Chocolate and did some ‘freezing’ experiments. They enjoyed stories about Elmer the Patchwork Elephant, went to investigate the trees in Fairview Park, had a fire safety talk from local firemen and enjoyed the pantomime, Cinderella. In art and crafts they made swans, elephants and St. Brigid’d cloaks. Also, lo vely melodies can be heard from Room 9 as the boys practise their tin whistle! The boys brought in some really interesting items for Bring and Show and brought in their favourite teddies. Before heading home on friday we had ‘Chocolate Tasting Time’ with milk chocolate a clear winner-yum!!!
