This term, Class 2 has been journeying through the rich and magical world of The King of Ireland’s Son. The children have been captivated by the lyrical storytelling, full of mystery, adventure, and timeless wisdom. As we follow the prince on his quest, the class is deepening its connection to oral storytelling and the rhythmic beauty of language.

To accompany our tales, we’ve been immersing ourselves in Celtic songs, bringing the mood and atmosphere of the stories into our classroom. The melodies have become part of our daily rhythm, supporting the children’s listening, memory, and joyful singing. Another exciting development is our introduction to cursive writing. The flowing, graceful letters have added a touch of wonder and artistry to our written work. The children are embracing this new form with care and curiosity, and it’s been a delight to see their confidence grow as their writing becomes more expressive. It’s been a rich and inspiring start to the term, filled with creativity, imagination, and steady progress.
