Monday:

Today, I would like you to learn about our President and where he lives in the Phoenix Park in Dublin.

Click on each of the guides, Daithí Deer, Fiachra Fox, Sorcha Squirrel and Bláithín Bird, to tell you more. Take the virtual tour of Áras an Uachtarán, and check out all of the beautiful rooms! When you are finished, take the quiz to see how much you have learned.

Tuesday:

Today, we are going to take a tour of the San Diego Zoo in California in the U.S.A. Pick your favourite animals and learn some facts about them. Explore the website and visit the tiger or koala enclosures…there are live webcams in there, but you might have to wait around for a while before you see anything happening, especially if they are asleep!

Wednesday:

Today, we will take a tour of the Giant’s Causeway in Co. Antrim. Remember the story of Finn and the giant, Benandonner, who came to fight him. Tell someone at home the story…and don’t forget the funny part, where Finn disguises himself!

June 8th – June 12th

Welcome back after your week off.

Dear Parents,
We can’t believe it is June and we are looking forward to working together to create an end of year assembly.  We are doing this firstly, to mark the end of the school year but also to wish all the children in 2nd class the very best as they move over to the senior school.
We are basing the assembly on Dr. Seuss’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go.”  Over the course of the next week we will be sending out lots of fun activities based on the book.  We are hoping that every child will create a poster.  The poster can be based on:
  1. Recreate or personalize a scene from the book
  2. A place they would like to go
  3. An imaginary place
  4. Suggested art and craft ideas
We will give lots of ideas and support but mostly we just want the children to be creative and have fun!
When your child’s poster is complete.  Please take a photograph of your child holding their poster and send it to us.  This will form part of our virtual assembly.
We look forward to making memories.
Thanking you,
Second Class Teachers

 

This is what I hope you can do this week (instead of, or as well as other work, that’s entirely up to you).

 

  1. Read the book “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Seuss Oh the Places You’ll Go (book)
  2. Record yourself saying the lines below, and then send me the recording:  (you can use free Vocaroo or any other recording device that you can send me on class dojo or by email)
  3. Draw or make a poster of a place that you would like to go in the future or when you leave our Junior School.  This might help.
  4. Get someone at home to take a photo of you holding your poster and send that to me on Class Dojo or by email.
  5. Try some other fun art stuff  Oh the Places You’ll Go (art ideas)
  6. Try some other related activities Oh the Places You’ll Go activity booklet

 

  • With your head full of brains.
  • And your shoes full of feet.
  • You’re too smart to go down, a not too good street!
  • And you may not find any that you want to go down.
  • In that case of course, you will head, straight out of town.
  • It’s opener there, in the wide open air.

 

REMEMBER….only the people who send a photo of themselves and their art work or who send an audio file of the lines will be on the assembly video that we make.  Go on, give it a try, all our second classes are doing the same.  It will be a gorgeous video and something special to remember your graduation from Scoil Chaitriona Junior in June 2020.
