Last week during International Women's Day we participated in lots of fun activities. We learned about some very inspiring women around the world. We learned about Ada Lovelace and her technological inventions, including binary code. We used beads to make our names in binary code which was really interesting. We write letters to inspiring women and to staff who we love. We also learned about women around the world and designed clothing based on different cultures. I was a wonderful week!

Today we had our Winter Showcase. It was fantastic! We performed two songs from the smash hit musical 'Matilda', and gave it socks with our dance routine! Take a look at some photos below, including some behind the scenes footage during rehearsals!A special thank you from Seona to all of the children in 2nd Red and their parents for all the well wishes I received ahead of getting married a couple of weeks ago! Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and gift! It was so kind and thoughtful and much appreciated :)
Welcome to 2nd Class Red's class blog! We hope you enjoy having a look at what's happening in our busy classroom :)
This week we were very lucky to receive our brand new maths packs! Linda organised this for us as part of Maths Week 2021. There are lots of things included in our pack including a hundred square, snakes and ladders, counters, dice, a deck of cards and maths vocabulary! Every Thursday we have our maths pack for homework and we get to choose a game to play with a family member at home.
We were also working hard at our maths stations this week. We were learning about sequencing and skip counting as well as playing some games to help us remember our addition facts. We love maths! Planting At the beginning of this month the children in 2nd Class red planted a variety of vegetables such as peas, beetroot, tomatoes and mixed leaves. Over the course of the month we have been waiting, watching and watering them everyday, hoping to see some growth. I am delighted to say that we now have a small vegetable garden flourishing in our classroom! Measuring Metres This month we were learning about length in maths. As we had a little bit of nice weather, we took our learning outside to measure items that were more or less than a metre (including measuring our teacher!) Titanic, Floating and Sinking This month we spent some time exploring the history of the Titanic and it's passengers. The children also had a great time investigating which objects/materials float or sink!
The children had great fun celebrating Lá Glas and were all dressed to impress! As it was such a nice day, 2nd Class Red did some work on recycling outside. We enjoyed some popcorn while we we working too! (We all remembered to bring our wrappers with us to keep the school litter free!) It was World Bee Day on the 20th May this year. To mark the occasion, we wrote some lovely acrostic poems about the honey bee! Check them out! |
