Pupils in 2nd class have had weekly Lego workshops for the past few months. Aside of working in teams and developing their hand/eye coordination and communication skills, they have constructed sensor robots, space probes and rotating robots through simple coding.
Pupils in 2nd class visited the De Valera Museum along with other areas of historical significance in the parish.
Pupils in 1st and 2nd class had a wonderful time on June 6th when they visited Crag Cave and the Crazy Cave Activity Centre in Castleisland, Co. Kerry.
Pupils in second class are taking turns to read the class novel 'The Enchanted Wood' to the whole class.
Day Four of Active Schools Week was another activity filled day with all classes participating in our "Mad Marathon" as well as Irish Dancing classes. Besides that, 3rd class did a fun orienteering activity, 5th/6th class played a modified version of Bull Dog and Senior Infants had great fun with the parachute.
3rd class handed in their Active Homework sheets on Friday - they got to choose what Active Homework they would like to do each day from a table of suggestions and they coloured the activities completed Tuesday in yellow, Wednesday in green and Thursday in blue. Here is just one example of many that made a super effort for Active Schools Week Active Homework.
Hard to believe it's day 3 of Active Schools Week already and what a busy day it was!
Pupils in 2nd class really enjoyed the athletics workshop where their running skills were developed along with their awareness of pace.
There was lots of physical activity in second class earlier this year when they began preparing the raised beds and had to clear out all of the weeds and unwanted vegetation.
