During the first term pupils in Scoil Bhríde learned all about their local area.  Pupils researched and completed projects on Lough Sheelin, Ross Castle, Schools through the Ages, The Dungimmon Stone, Crover House, Church Island, The Legend of Orwin and Sebana and  Mountnugent Village. 

We also had the pleasure of having local historian Joe Moynagh visit our school to share his amazing knowledge and stories about Mountnugent with classes.  Finally, just before Midterm, 5th and 6th class pupils enjoyed a wonderful day out with Joe, Ms Browne and Ms Rahill visiting some of the local historical sites.   It was clear to see that pupils really enjoyed learning all about their local area and gained lots of knowledge too.  

Scoil Bhríde celebrated ‘Friendship Week’ in September.  In 5th /6th Class we discussed the importance of Friendship, had a ‘Secret Pal’, made cards for our ‘Buddies’ and completed some ‘Friendship’ art. 

We held our Annual Sports Day on Friday 31st May. It was a terrific day full of spills and thrills! Ms Browne presented each child with a certificate and an ice-lolly for their outstanding contribution and participation. Well done to all!

5th and 6th Class pupils enjoyed a trip to Dáil Éireann on Tuesday 7th May.  They were greeted at the gates of the Dáil by local TD Johnny Guirke and were shown around the grounds before our official tour.  

Pupils completed The 1916 Easter Rising and The Irish Free State units in History which aided them in understanding their tour.   They also did projects on each of the sixteen Taoisigh.  

It was a very enjoyable day and one which they will always remember.  

Congratulations to our 6th Class pictured above with their teacher Ms Rahill and Bishop Deenihan who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Thursday 22nd of February in St Brigid’s Church Ballinacree. We pray that the Gift of the Holy Spirit will guide and direct them in the years ahead.
