Our Dienes Blocks really help us visualise the numbers when we’re adding two-digit numbers together.

The boys watched the reaction when they dipped a cotton bud with washing up liquid into milk & food dye.

The boys have been learning about light and how different items can be transparent, translucent or opaque. They tested some items in the classroom using torches.

The boys made rainbow spinners to show how the colours of the rainbow can merge together to make white light. Great job boys!

We placed cress seeds in two different cups, marked ‘A’ & ‘B’. Both cups had cotton wool and water. The only difference was light exposure; we put Cup A on the windowsill and Cup B in the cupboard. The results were very interesting!

A great experiment to show how plants drink water.

The boys made terrifying cakes this year for our annual scary cake competition. The judges had a tough decision choosing the winners!

Every Friday we do Art. The boys have made some great pieces so far this year.

The boys did a great job making friendship bracelets with Rang a Sé, using loom bands.

We recently explored our local area - Dalkey.

Many thanks to the boys in Rang a Sé for creating such a fun obstacle course for all the other classes to try.

Welcome to all of our new boys in second class.
