Paper constructions

We made some constructions today using paper. The aim was to make our constructions solid so that they could be made taller. We were not allowed to use any glue or sellotape, and had to really think about how to fold the paper.

Aidan and his team worked really hard and won the competition! Well done boys!

After we made our constructions, we used a metre stick to measure them. The tallest was over a metre and a half (150cm / 1.5m) tall!

We had great fun carrying out this task!

Some Christmas work

We have been busy as usual in 2nd class, and have enjoyed working on a wide variety of Christmas-related crafts. Take a look and see what we have been up to!

Cian and Conor paint their wreath plates.

Emma and Niamh printed a pattern using plastic cups and paint.

Adam added lots of glitter to make his print sparkle.

We hung the wreaths outside our room. Ansin, thosaigh muid ag déanamh ár gCartaí Nollag.

         

We made other types of interesting Christmas cards by baking them! We used: 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of baking powder and 3/4 of a cup of water. We had great fun squishing it all together in a sandwich bag! Then we cut a hole and piped the dough mixture out onto a Christmas shape we had chosen. Put it in the microwave and you have a baked Christmas card!

Kyle piping his card.

Emma piping her tree shape onto a card.

Eddie deep in concentration!

Cian piping onto his shape.

Put it in the microwave and you have a baked Christmas card!

It was very messy but great fun – thanks to all the parents that came in to help.

Christmas Concert

This year our JI, Second /Third class and Sixth classes will perform a short concert on 19th December starting at 5.00pm.

We are asking parents  to please leave front seats for parents of Junior Infants as there will be a short break between their show and the senior classes show. This is to allow the younger children to be taken home,  this will leave front seats free for parents of the seniors.

We look forward to seeing you and that everyone  will have the opportunity to see their children and enjoy the concert.
