Well done to all the boys and girls in the Daisies for working so hard at home. Summer holidays are finally here so you can relax and enjoy them. I have to congratulate all of the boys and girls for their participation in the final Student Council Active Challenge and I was not surprised to see that the 2nd and 3rd class team, the Ravens, won!!! Well done to everyone who took part. This year has been a crazy one and it was hard not getting to see everyone and finish 2nd class together but you have all done so well in dealing with the changes and staying positive. I have had an amazing year as your teacher and I'm very proud of you all!

Have a look through the blog to get a reminder of everyone's activities and all of the fun games and projects you have gotten involved in this year. I hope you all have a lovely summer break with your families!

Hi everyone,
I can't believe it is our last week in 2nd class and your last week learning from home. What a crazy year this has been! You have all made me so proud over the last few months and you should be proud of yourselves too.

Our value this week is 'self-belief' which is one of the most important values and one of my favourites to learn about. The poster below shows positive affirmations which we should practice telling ourselves each day. Practice reading the sentences out loud to your parents, your siblings, your grandparents, your pets and even your toys. I have also added a video below that is linked to our value called 'Remarkably You! by Pat Zietlow Miller.

Hello to everyone from Yacouba! Yacouba is looking forward to his summer holidays and has also made a bucket list of fun activities to do with his family. Yacouba has done a great job at his maths activities this week and enjoyed learning about position and direction as well as right angles. He made his own angle monster to find right angles in his home. Yacouba enjoyed the ice activity so much that he did it twice! His brothers helped him to find different ways to melt the ice. They tried breaking it first but then realised it was alot easier to melt it. Well done Yacouba for all your hard work this week! :) 

Hello to everyone from Kristine! Kristine has been working hard for the last few weeks and is looking forward to her summer holidays! she drew another lovely picture for us and made her summer bucket list.

Great work Kristine! 

Sweta says hi to everyone in the Daisies. She enjoyed this weeks activities alot and has made a bucket list for the summer.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I can't wait to see what you got up to. I'm also delighted to see that so many of you completed the time capsule last week. 

2nd class have shown great resilience this year as they have faced many obstacles and have adapted quickly to a very unusual and confusing situation due to Covid 19. Although many of our class must wait until it is safe before they can make their First Confession and then their First Communion, lots of you still decided to mark the occasion at home with your families. I am so proud of everyone for making the most of your time at home and I promise you that your Communion Day will be twice as special when it finally happens.

​​I hope you all enjoy the activities this week. Have a look at what our class are up to in the photos below. Feel free to send me any photos you would like to share with your classmates at r20mshassett@snu.ie.

Stay safe,
Ms Hassett

Great idea Yacouba, there are lots of ways to help you solve problems! He learned more about weight and items that weigh more and less than 1kg.
