Symmetry

Anton gave us a fantastic definition for Symmetry today. 

A symmetrical shape is a shape that can be cut through the middle to show two or more pieces that can be folded on top of each other or  to show a mirror image or matching shape. Anton also pointed out that a square has lots of lines of symmetry.

Friday 13th!!

Today 2nd class had another great day! They have been working so hard and behaving so well we decided it was time for a trip! First we went to the GPO, where we posted our Santa letters and met Stephen who brought us on a tour of the museum. Next we walked across town to the Mansion House where The Lord Mayor lives. Here we saw a live crib, with a donkey, a goat and sheep in it. After that we went to St. Stephens Green and had some fun in the playground. By the time we got backed to school all of the boys were really tired!! Lots of walking and lots of fun!! Can't wait for our next trip to the panto next week!
