2nd Class
Welcome to 2nd Class – a year of exciting learning, growing confidence, and new responsibilities!
In 2nd Class, children continue to build on the strong foundations developed in the infant and junior classes. This year brings further development in core subjects such as English, Gaeilge, and Maths, as well as a broad and balanced curriculum including SESE (History, Geography, and Science), SPHE, Visual Arts, Music, and PE.
2nd Class is a special year, where pupils begin to show more independence in their work, take pride in their progress, and enjoy learning through both individual and group activities. We encourage curiosity, creativity, and kindness in a positive and inclusive classroom environment.
For many children, this is also the year they prepare for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion, which is an important milestone in their faith journey and a cherished part of the school year for families and the whole school community.
This year there are 30 boys & girls in 2nd Class divided into Daisies & Bluebells. Their teachers are Ms. O' Donoghue & Ms. Kennedy. We look forward to a fun-filled year of learning, friendship, and exciting new adventures!
Michelle Culloty from Tralee Education Centre did a science lesson with the 2nd Class children recently. They investigated if soap/shower gel/bubble bath/washing up lilquid made the best bubbles. Lots of fun was had!
Siobhán from Killanrey National Park spoke to the children in 2nd Class about different Irish wildlife and their habitats!
2nd Class explored fashionable clothing for cold weather through a creative art lesson. The children designed stylish winter outfits, featuring coats, hats, scarves, and boots, while learning how fashion and warmth go hand in hand. Their artwork showcases imagination, individuality, and excellent attention to detail.
Our 2nd Class pupils have been hard at work creating a wonderful collection of festive Christmas artwork. The classroom has been buzzing with excitement as the children experimented with new techniques and materials to bring the magic of the season to life.
The results are truly impressive—bright, joyful, and full of personality! Their creations are now proudly displayed throughout the school, adding a warm Christmas atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
Well done to all our talented 2nd Class artists for their fantastic effort and festive spirit!
