Happy New Year from 2nd Class

8th Jan 2026
Happy New Year from 2nd Class!

We are happy to be back to school, enjoying the beginning of 2026 with our classmates.  This week we had fun working on an insulation experiment, exploring materials to see which would be the best for keeping water warm in jars.  We discovered that our foam paper wrapped around a jar was the best insulator, far better than tinfoil!  
We also had fun one morning doing our 100 piece jigsaws.
Today Ms Callaghan taught us some German for colours and numbers, and we did a colour-by-number colouring sheet activity.  We thought it funny that 'elf' means 'eleven'!  It brought back memories of our Christmas elves at home!
