Some lovely photos of our class busy working from home!
Below are some lovely wildflowers Myah found while on a nature walk.
Well done boys and girls on completing another year in school. It wasn't an easy year on anyone and I know it was difficult at times not seeing your friends. Hopefully as the summer progresses there will be many opportunities to catch up with friends. Well done on trying your best with your school work as well as all the other activities you are involved in such as sport, music and art. You are all very talented and I'm looking forward to seeing those talents continue to develop next year.
Thank you to the parents for making distance learning possible. Thank you for all your support this year.
I hope everyone has a nice summer.
Kind regards,
Pauline

Dear Parents,
Please find below the work for the week beginning on the 18th May. As always this is just suggested work. You know your child best. You might find that this time of the year the children like to be outside more and therefore you may choose more activities that can be completed outdoors. Below I have included a sheet where the children can cut out the pictures of natural and human made items and put them in the correct box. There are also sheets to help with identifying garden birds.
​If I can be of any help during the week please let me know.

I hope everyone has a lovely week.

​Dear Parents, 
I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying the beautiful weather. Please find below the work for the coming week.  This week would have been "Active School's Week" so instead we have included different activities that you may like to try each day. You can choose which day you want to complete each activity. You can find the file attached below.
It would be lovely if parents could send photos of the various activities that the children are doing while they are off school. I can upload them on the website. It might be nice for the children to see what their friends have been getting up to. 
As always if there is anything I can do to help please email me.The photos can also be sent to this address.  firstandsecondcappy@gmail.com
Kind Regards
Pauline

Pancake Tuesday

We had great fun learning about 2D Shapes in Maths this week. We enjoyed making them and investigating how many corners and sides they had as well as naming them. We also identified which 2D shapes have square corners.

Maths games on the laptops.

Still Images and Thought Tracking during Drama.
We read the story"The Children of Lir" and then based our drama around the story. Here the children are in role as Aoife and the four swans. 

Bingo as Gaeilge

Our Teeth
We have been learning all about our teeth in 1st and 2nd class. We identified our incisors, canines, pre-molars and molars. We discovered that our teeth are various sizes and shapes depending on the job they need to do. Using a mirror we counted our teeth to see how many we have at the moment. Some of us are losing our baby teeth at the moment!!!

Happy Halloween
