Congratulations to the children who received their First Holy Communion on April 22nd 2023.

We had a lot of fun on World Book Day in 2nd Class. We dressed up as characters from our favourite books. We designed our own book covers for our class novel The Twits. We also enjoyed reading the story The Magic Paintbrush. Later, in our drama lesson, we used our imaginations to paint using a magic paintbrush!

We had grandparents, parents and other family members visit us in 2nd Class during Catholic Schools Week. We were celebrating Grandparents Day. We recited poems, sang songs and told stories. The grandparents and parents that came told stories about when they were our age, and it was a lot of fun. We made cards for our grandparents and drew a picture too. Have a look at our display below.

We have been making the most of the snow this week. We are so glad to have our new astro pitch so we can safely play outside in the snow at break time. We even managed to gather enough snow to make a small snowman!

On December 19th Second Class went to mass in our beautiful church. We sang Christmas carols.

Last week we visited the crib in the church and also looked at the advent wreath. We have been learning about Advent and the birth of Baby Jesus.

We made slime in science for Halloween. We predicted how it would feel before we made it. We recorded our method and at the end we recorded our result. It was slimy, stretchy and smooth!

Kate and Cian from 5th Class have been teaching 2nd Class Sean Nós dancing. This is one of many activities organised by Mrs. Gillogley for the Active SchoolFlag 2022.
