Having settled back in, second year students began by reflecting on the changes they have experienced since first year. They have set themselves goals for their future, looked at academic language and created posters to aid their understanding of these key terms. This linked in with Maths week, so they also focused on mathematical terms and created gorgeous posters for the school.
The SPHE department has linked in with Ms. Cunningham’s second year art students on a cross curricular project. All second year SPHE students have explored ideas relating to self-esteem, self-confidence and body image. In the Art room, they then have the opportunity to explore this topic on a personal, visual level. The final result saw terrific self-portraits with strong personal reflections, symbolism and self-expression. Study skills for the winter exams and the topic of communication through role-play and games brought them to the end of the term. Well done second years for all your hard work.
