The school year is almost over! Today we celebrated Biodiversity Day in our school. We walked and cycled to school in the morning. We tasted some of the beautiful vegetables that grew in our school garden this year (onions and lettuce). We announced the winners of the Biodiversity competitions. We wore coloured tops to represent the many different parts of our beautiful world.
Blue: the colour of the sky, the ocean, water, flowers
Red and Pink: the colour of roses, tulips and other flowers, leaves in autumn
Green: the colour of grass and trees
White and other colours: clouds, the sun, pictures of nature

Yesterday we went to Turoe Pet Farm. 
First we hopped on the bus. When we arrived, we went straight on our break. Next, we went to the Astro and the play area. Finally we went to the Inflatable City.
It was a great day.

Yesterday we went to Turoe Pet Farm.
First we went to Jungle Town. Then we had lunch. Next we had a tour of the animals. We saw cows, pigs, ducks, goats, sheep and a fake crocodile! Then we had big break. After that we went to a very very big bouncy castle. Finally we went home.
It was a great day.

...we got to go in with the rabbits and we fed some of them. Did you know that the pigs are the cleanest animals on the farm? (by C. F.)

​Caterpillar
 
Creepy crawly caterpillar
Looping up and down,
Furry tufts of hair along
Your back of golden brown.
 
You will soon be wrapped in silk,
Asleep for many a day;
And then, a handsome butterfly,
You’ll stretch and fly away. 

Well done to all the children who took part in our talent show, it was amazing to see the different talents and interests displayed! Maith sibh go léir!!!

We decorated our classroom with candles in the window.
We enjoyed singing Christmas hymns and carols.

Happy Christmas 2025 from 2nd class!
