Room 10 have been having so much fun this week. We have worked really hard at teamwork and trying new games. Thanks to all our coaches and teachers for a wonderful week so far! 
Second class had a wonderful time on their school tour in June. They learned a lot about nature, coal and mining. They had lots of fun in the playground. It was a great day!
Second class began active school’s week with fantastic activities at the GAA pitch today. They had a wonderful time. Thanks to the coaches and teachers for organising all the activities
The boys and girls from 1st and 2nd class took part in the KCLR Big Spring Clean Up art competition in April. They draw beautiful pictures of the River Barrow and came up with some really useful tips on how to keep our waterways clean. Second Class made wonderful models of the River Barrow and labelled the key features.
Today some students from second class travelled to KCLR Kilkenny to accept an award for their amazing art entries. They got a tour around KCLR studios and learned lots about how the radio works behind the scenes. They recorded messages as a group and some children spoke on live radio about the competition. Afterwards they got to see the art work on a TV screen and had lots of treats.
The presentation of all art entries will be available to watch on KCLR’s Facebook page.
Well done boys and girls.

3rd class had great fun on their trip to the Kilkenny Activity Centre. We started the day with a hilarious bubble soccer match and an exciting splat-ball game. Then we completed a grueling assault course where we had to work as part of a team to overcome obstacles. To finish it all off, we did the crazy mud-slide where we got very mucky. But it was worth it! A special thank you to those teachers who joined us on our fun day out! 
We awarded Graiguecullen GAA Club €560 to help fund the Boys’ Feile trip up North.
We got to hold the National League Division 4 cup won by Laois this year!

Second class room 1o have been learning about materials and what happens when we mix different materials together. Today we had great fun when we made playdough. At first teacher demonstrated how to make playdough and then we all made it in our groups. After we made our playdough we created lots of different things.
This was a fun lesson and we really enjoyed measuring and mixing different materials together. Try it at home and experiment by using different colours! Have fun
Second class room 10 were learning about 3 – D shapes and the importance of looking after the environment. We learned about the importance of recycling. Following these lessons, we made 3 – D shaped robots using recyclable materials from home e.g. cereal boxes.
We enjoyed making these robots. It was lots of fun!
Second class have been busy preparing for their First Holy Communion. We are really looking forward to celebrating this special occasion with our friends and family. We thank all those involved for helping us to prepare for this special occasion, especially Father Dunphy and Suzanne.
Second class room 10 have been enjoying show and tell. As part of the new language curriculum we have been showing some of our favourite things, asking questions about them and discussing them. We have had lots of lovely toys, stories and pieces of art brought in. Well done to the boys and girls for presenting their important things.
