Well done Donegal

There were lots of sad faces in Second Class after the All Ireland Final this weekend. Unfortunately Mayo lost to a better Donegal team. We hope that Mayo (or Cavan) can go a step better and win the Sam Maguire Cup next year!
In the meantime we send our congratulations go to Donegal for playing some fantastic football this year.

Up Mayo!!!

Mr. Walsh and his Second class will be cheering for Mayo this Sunday as they play against Donegal in the All Ireland Final in Croke Park.

Here is a link to the brilliant Sawdoctors song The Green and Red of Mayo which we have been singing this week.

Maybe one of the us could show you the actions we made up to go along with the words.

Up Mayo!!!!!!

Our Timetable

Our timetable is finally starting to become clearer! 

Up to the Halloween break, we will have tin whistle every Wednesday and PE (dance) every Thursday.
I would really appreciate it if everyone could bring their tin whistles and their notes to school on Wednesday, and wear their tracksuits on Thursday.

After Halloween things may change slightly, but advance notice will be given through our homework journals.

Welcome Mr.Smith

A huge Room 7 welcome to Mr. Smith. He will be with us for the full month of September, teaching us lots of interesting things.

We are all super excited, and very lucky, to have two great teachers with us for the month.

Mini Economy

This year everyone in Room 7 will be working extra hard because we are running a Mini Economy in our class.
The Mini Economy is just like real life, except we deal with Fitzees instead of euros.

This is how it works:
Everyone has a job, and if we work really hard at it, we will get paid by cheque on a Friday.
Luckily, the Class Bank is open on a Friday!
In the bank we can lodge our cheques and save our Fitzees for another time; or we can take some savings out and buy something from the class shop.
But we must remember to keep some money out to pay the rent (for the tables and chairs)!!!!

We are all really excited to get the Mini Economy started up. It gives us another reason to get excited about Fridays.  :)

First Day

Today was our first day together in Second Class.

There was a huge welcome back to all the familiar faces for another year of fun.

A special welcome was made to the two new people in our class, Dominika and Sanela. Everyone was dying to show them how great a school this is.

An extra thanks goes out to Claire and Weronika for being super friendly to them today.

Lets keep up the good work....
