We’ve had a very busy week in Scoil Bhríde this week with the Christmas Carol Service last night in which the children performed amazingly!! The Christmas Movie Day and Mega Draw taking place today. And some special visitors are expected tomorrow. The Christmas excitement is certainly building!
We had an action-packed Science Week filled with curiosity, discovery and hands-on learning! Kathleen O’Hagan joined us for a workshop exploring the lifecycle of the brown trout and the water cycle. The pupils enjoyed learning about these natural processes at work and how they connect to our local environment, Lough Sheelin.
5th and 6th Class tuned into a webinar about What happens to the human body when bitten by a venomous snake? This definitely captured everyone’s attention!
Throughout the week, we carried out lots of exciting experiments, including:
Making oobleck and exploring its unusual properties
Investigating water density
Learning how air acts as a force
Creating a magnetic field, a water propelled rocket, starbust cup and water fireworks…
5th and 6th Class pupils recently took part in a Touch Rugby Blitz in Crosserlough GAA grounds. Both teams played very well and enjoyed their afternoon.
Our Visit to the Ombudsman for Children
5th and 6th Class had a great visit to the Ombudsman for Children’s Office in Dublin, on Wednesday 22nd October. Pupils took part in a fun workshop all about the Rights of the Child. It was a very informative and enjoyable day for all.
Maths Week 2025
We had a brilliant time celebrating Maths Week 2025 in Scoil Bhríde this week! The children participated in all sorts of fun activities, including maths trails, maths chat, card games, number plate sums and even guessing the weight of the pumpkin!
Our 5th and 6th Class pupils were especially busy as they designed and made their own maths board games, which they loved sharing and playing with the other classes.
It was a fantastic week full of fun, laughter, and lots of maths. Well done to everyone for taking part and showing that maths really is all around us!
5th and 6th Class pupils participated in Space Week in October by creating new planets and describing their planets’ unique features in a written activity. They also engaged in a collaborative ‘STEM’ task to design a Space Station.
On Monday 23rd June we had our end of year mass to mark the graduation of our 6th Class. Fr O’ Connor presented each pupil with their graduation certificates. Congratulations to a great 6th Class and we wish them all the best as they move into secondary school.
The girls from 3rd-6th Class tried out some rugby on Friday 4th April. Thank you kindly to Jon Watt from Virginia RFC who facilitated the session for the girls. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
As part of their study of WWII, 5th and 6th Class pupils completed projects on various aspects of the War including; Ireland during World War II – The Emergency, The D-Day Landings, Attack on Pearl Harbor, The Story of Anne Frank, Aircrafts and Weapons, The Fate of Jews, Individual Study – Hitler and The Allies and Axis Powers. Pupils enjoyed and learned lots listening to their peers present their projects. In keeping with our theme of WWII, we are currently reading the novel ‘The boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
