Super Science
Over the past three weeks we explored Electricity in our classroom and learned how to make circuits with light bulbs, wires and batteries.
First we used two wires, a light bulb and a battery to make circuits. We were delighted when we managed to light the bulbs. Later we tried with one wire, a light bulb and a battery. This worked well for us.
We put all our knowledge together to create a proper circuit using a battery holder and crocodile clips.
Next we made lighthouses with a working switch to turn them on and off. After we made our lighthouses out of kitchen rolls, we designed decorated them and stuck them to cardboard creating a seaside scene. The challenge for us was to hide our wires from public view.
In the next lesson we made quizzes for the junior classes. Questions on the left had to match answers on the right. On the back, we connected the correct answer to each question with wires so that when you connected them they lit the bulb and you knew your answer was correct.
We made English and Irish quizzes for Infants and First class. Jake and his group made a soccer quiz. Abbie and her group made an Irish animal quiz. They were a big hit in the Junior Room and we thoroughly enjoyed the process of designing them.

Holy Communion May 23rd 2015
/in 2nd Class, What's Happening /by 5ch00lAdm1nCongratulations to our 2nd Class pupils who received their First Holy Communion on May 23rd.
First Confession
/in 2nd Class, 3rd Class /by 5ch00lAdm1nFirst Confession
At the moment in Second Class we are preparing for our First Confession. We go to the church which is the House of God where we get forgiven by God through the words and the actions of the priest.
While the priest is forgiving our sins we will sing hymns and say some prayers. The prayers are The Act of Sorrow, Prayer for Forgiveness and The Prayer After Forgiveness. the hymns we will sing include ‘Connected’, ‘I’m Sorry’ and ‘My Shepherd is the Lord’. Our favourite hymn is ‘The Lost Sheep’ because we get to sing “Baa! Baa! Baa!”
We have had a rehearsal and look forward to our first confession with Fr. Joe and Fr. David on Thursday 30th April. Our parents will come with us to the altar but we will go to the priest, by ourselves, like an adult! I think we will feel happy, relieved and wonderful…all sparkly white with forgiveness.
