I have been working with Mr. Kinsella to make a stop motion animation. First we planned our story and then we wrote it. After I corrected and edited it we made a list of everything we needed to make it.
Filming started last week and we hope to have it finished before Easter and up on the blog.
In the meantime I hope you enjoy the trailer!

Today we want to direct your attention to the Scoilnet site – and in particular, the section for parents on the Scoilnet site! The Scoilnet site hosts a variety of articles and activities for students, parents and teachers. For parents, there are articles on topical issues, information on special needs and links to information from the Department of Education. You can access the parents homepage here.
To introduce you to the parents section on Scoilnet, we’ve chosen three links that might be of interest!
Let us know what you find and what you recommend!
As always, you can find all previous ‘Wednesday for Parents’ posts here.
Hi bloggers around the world, today we found out that one of the boys in our class won the Write a Book Project for our class. We have been waiting a long time to hear who the winner was. It was Luke C and he gets to go to a hotel in Killiney next Monday at 5pm to collect his prize. Luke was VERY HAPPY when he found out that he was the winner. Everybody in the class gave him a big round of applause. He is allowed to bring two guests with him to the presentation. Mr. Foley and another guest are going to the presentation with him.
The name of his book was “The Dwarven City of Dishea”. His book will be displayed outside the class along with the other entries when they are returned back to our school.
There will be 3 runners-up prizes for our class. We haven’t received the names of these winners yet. We are very excited to see who won.
In other quick news from our class, we performed an Irish poem last Friday to the school. We will put this up on the blog soon. After a long time, we finally reached our attendance prize. We now have 114 greens and are closing in on last year’s record!

2nd Class have gotten to the end of Chapter 5 in Zac Power, Frozen Fear. It’s a brilliant, exciting book. The podcasts help us with our:
1. Predicting, 2. Making connections, 3. Creating images, 4. Inferring, 5. Putting it all together. Now we are working on re-reading!
Remember, you can catch our previous book/reading podcasts on the blog by clicking on the title!
2nd Class have now explored four different Roots of Empathy themes. So far we have looked at:
1. Meeting the Baby
2. Crying
3. Caring for Baby and Teething.
We recorded podcasts about Roots of Empathy before. You can find them here and here!
Our Roots of Empathy journey board that we are adding to all year!
Last week we looked at Emotions. We recorded a podcast about it. Something amazing happened when Baby T was in last week. If you follow us on Twitter you might have heard about it! If you don’t, then you HAVE to hear our podcast to find out! It is so exciting! We hope you like our podcast!
ps. If case you don’t know, we say ‘OOOOO-TAY!’ at the end of our podcasts because it was part of our 2nd Class Christmas Play!
On Wednesday we had some very kind and helpful visitors in our room. Some of the wonderful parents at St. Peter’s came in to see us and show us some wonderful fun ways to use maths!
Adam loved Uno and Jordan tried very hard to beat him!
Nathan O’B and Nathan K especially loved the shark picture on the tessellating shapes.
Johnny and Lorcan tried to make their shapes quicker than everyone else!
We loved our Maths For Fun and can’t wait for the next one!
Last week’s student of the week in Ms. Mitchell’s class was Arturas.
Arturas worked very hard all week and got 90% in both his spellings and tables test on Friday!
You can see them outside our classroom because they are also this week’s “work of the week”.
Well done Arturas, keep it up!
