Chinese New Year
Miss Chen taught us about Chinese New Year in Primary 2. We read the story 'The Great Race' and learned about how it is the year of the snake. Miss Chen made the adults some delicious food and taught us some useful phrases like 'Happy new Year', 'Hello', 'Thank you' and 'Goodbye'. We had a great day celebrating with Miss Chen!

World Children’s Day 🧒🏼👦🏿👦🏾
St Colmcille's celebrated World Children's Day on Wednesday! The theme this year was 'Listen to the Future.' We encouraged children to use their voices on the global issue of climate change. By listening to children we can fulfil their right to self-expression, understand their ideas for a better world and include their priorities in our actions today! Each class learnt about the causes of climate change and how climate change is negatively impacting the lives of children all around the world. They then took part in protest rallies to voice their concerns and demand that our local government and world leaders take action to save and protect our planet and the lives of all children globally! Article 24 & 12 of the UNCRC, All children have the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously. children and young people have the right to the best health possible.
European Day of Languages
We celebrated European Day of Languages in our class by taking part in a taste test. We tried croissants from France, waffles from Belgium, breadsticks from Italy and chocolate from Switzerland. We are also very lucky to have children from Bulgaria and Spain in our class and they enjoyed telling us some fun facts about where they and their family are from!
The Enormous Turnip 🌱🌸
P2A read a funny story called ‘The Enormous Turnip’ this week. Taking inspiration from the story, they decided to plant their own seeds in our new outdoor classroom. The children excitedly prepared the soil, planted the seeds, and discussed the importance of caring for them as they grow!

Living Things Hunt 🔎🌸🦋
As part of our 'Living Things' learning, the children went on a living things hunt. We learned that living things grow, breathe, and move. During our exploration, we found many living things in our environment, such as trees, plants, birds, and worms. The children enjoyed discovering how these living things interact with the world around them!
Living Things
This week, Primary 2 explored their new World Around Us topic, focusing on living things. They sorted objects into living and non-living categories, and the boys and girls worked excellently together to problem-solve.
