We recently had a visitor who gave a presentation to all classes on the importance of internet safety.
Second classes learned all about the Five Internet Safety Rules.
The following day, every pupil in Ms Rochford’s class designed his/her own poster pertaining to the rules.
2nd class discovered a fascinating fact about water when conducting experiments to test if a paperclip can float by itself. Crazy? After all, it should sink as it is heavier than water!
However, equipped only with the statement that paperclips can float, the children set about testing this hypothesis. They succeeded in doing so and learned that water has a skin (surface tension), which enables paperclips to float. Science is so cool!
Congratulations to these 2nd class pupils who were awarded Pupil of the Week over these last months. This is given for super behaviour (eg, kindness, perseeverance, helpfulness), academic excellence or for consistent effort and improvement.
Ms Rochford’s and Ms Kinsella’s 2nd classes entered a competition to have a school visit from an Olympian. I am delighted to say we were successful! A very well done to the children!
The Olympian sprinter, Marcus Lawler, will visit the school on 13th March next. He will spend two hours at the school which will encompass a whole school assembly. This will be followed by a presentation, Q&As, activities and demonstrations, initially with all 2nd classes and then with 5th and 6th classes.
