Snow Much Fun in 1st & 2nd Class
1st & 2nd Class children used their best negotiating skills to convince Mrs Barry to let them out into the snow. So much fun was had by all.
World Book Day in 1st & 2nd Class
We began our celebrations of World Book Day in 1st and 2nd Class with a table quiz. Junior and Senior Infants joined us for some fun. The competition was fierce and each team showed their book expertise by answering questions on characters from famous books.
We designed book vouchers for a World Book Day competition and shared our favourite book with our classmates. Dog-man is pretty popular at the moment! We are looking forward to the Book Fair and Dress-up Day next week. There will be a prize for the student in 1st and 2nd class with the best homemade costume!

Friends
We have been learning about what it takes to be a good friend and today we had so much fun interviewing our classmates. We learned so much about each other by asking questions, listening, and being interested in each other’s responses.
Who knew maths could be so much fun?
We love Maths in Mrs Barry’s room.
The competition is fierce in 1st and 2nd Class, as the boys and girls challenge each other in card games to reinforce their tables. (Apologies to all the other classes in the school, and indeed to the other schools on the campus, for the noise generated during these games – the excitement and tension is mighty! Congratulations to Ali who played ‘Beat the Teacher’ recently, and won!
Amazing Artists in 1st and 2nd Class
Mrs Barry’s class have been creating lots of wonderful art. Look through our gallery to see how fabulous each piece is. The children have put so much effort into making their own pieces unique. Their displays have been brightening our walls and corridors.
What wonderful artists we have in Maryborough NS.
Mrs Barry’s Class have been getting fit and learning how to skip.
We have been learning how to skip over the last few weeks. We have been putting our new skills to good use in the yard each day and have been teaching each other new moves and even a few routines.
Junk Art in 1st & 2nd Class
The boys and girls had lots of fun using their imagination to create ‘houses’ out of recyclable materials. Check out some of the action below! The boys and girls
Skittles Experiment!
The boys and girls in 1st and 2nd class made great scientists last week as they took part in a colour experiment using Skittles! Everyone had great fun watching the colours come together. Check out some pictures below! 😊
Tree Planting
Mr. Hickey, Ms Gow and Miss Handcock were busy in December giving each child a tree to plant around the school. The children really enjoyed it and they may like to come back in a few years’ time to admire their lovely trees. We had a lovely selection of trees, there were Hawthorn, Hazel, Alder, Oak and Scott’s Pine. Thank you to Trees on the Land for kindly sponsoring the trees.
