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.
We had a lovely morning in Ballinacree last Friday as we celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge with a Cluiche Corr with our neighbours in Scoil Naomh Fiach.
We have had an exciting week in 6th Class. On Monday 3rd March we received the Sacrament of Confirmation from Rev Bishop Tom Deenihan and on Thursday morning we had a breakfast morning in our sparkly new hoodies!
Thank you kindly to our Parent’s Association who covered the cost of the hoodies for our 6th Class. It is much appreciated.
