Ms. McCaul's Second Class

Armagh Planetarium

The Armagh Planetarium came to our school today (20th of Nov) Add Video

The Stardome is a portable planetarium that was set up in our halla all day today.

The Stardome gave all children in the school an exciting way to learn about where we live in Universe and the possibilities of space travel.

We were allowed to come out of the classroom and learn about science in a fun and interactive way.

As many of you will know our computer class for beginners is up and running, with Ms Tracy reacher very kindly volunteering her time eight hours a week. On Tuesday's, the Ballybane Library offers the use of a play area, so that parents, who would otherwise not be able to attend teh class, may bring along their young childre. The class runs for two hours every Tuesday morning (10am -12pm). In order to facilitte this class, I would be very grateful to any parents who are available during these hours who could volunteer their time to supervise the play area. If you have this time to spare and are willing to volunteer please contact Caitriona Coughlan at 083 3141498. It will be very much appreciated.

The mobile farm came to visit..

On the 7th of November the mobile farm came to visit Scoil Chaitriona Jnr. All classes went to visit it in the junior yard. We saw lots of different animals.

- Jasmine the Duck

- Chloe the Goose

- Babe the Pig

- Rodger the Rabbit

- Dolly the Sheep

- Rosie the Donkey

We were allowed to pet the different animals. Chloe, the goose, sat on SC's head and we learned why it is important to brush our teeth regularly - look at the photo of Rosie's teeth - YUCK!

Music in the classroom

Emer came to visit 1st and 2nd class. While she was here she let us play her guitar and she taught us how to sing "The Rose." It is a lovely song. We had a great time with our visitor!
