Ms. Dervan's 2nd class

Welcome back 2nd class. We are excited for the year ahead. We have lots to look forward to. It's going to be a great year!

This week, as part of the reading challenge initiative, we did some buddy reading with Senior Infants. 4th and 5th class really enjoyed it and were so impressed by all the amazing readers in Ms. Rafter's class. 

 For the last few weeks we have been learning about the Titanic. The children worked on projects exploring this topic in greater detail and found out some very interesting facts. They presented them to the class this week and the presentations were very engaging. I really commend them for working on their presentation skills. They included lots of interesting facts, images and were knowledgeable about the content. Lots of children included quizzes to see who was listening. They did a super job! Well done!

This week we had a visiting tennis coach come to the school to do tennis with all the classes. 4th and 5th really enjoyed it! They practiced tennis skills, played tennis games and enjoyed the lovely weather. It was a very enjoyable day. 

For Seachtain na Gaeilge we had a ceilí in the classroom where children played tunes for their class. Some children chose to play a tune on their own, others played in smaller groups. I was so impressed with the amazing musicians. It was lovely to hear all the beautiful music and after the whole school ceilí on Lá Glas, some children visited 1st and 3rd class to play some tunes for them. Keep up the lovely music!
