Below is a picture of our Northern Lights created with the use of chalk pastels. We also created and designed some Christmas cards for the residents of Sheelin Nursing home.It is important to remember those who can not spend Christmas in their own homes and we hope our cards will spread a little Christmas cheer.

5th and 6th Class created a Christmas scene with the words “Nollaig Shona ó Scoil Bhríde”. Congratulations to Anthony Heslin whose Christmas scene was chosen by our Tidy Village Committee and is now proudly on display outside our school!

We are taking part in the Peace Proms this year!

The Peace Proms is a free resource and choral education project for Primary Schools. Peace Proms celebrates culture and diversity and promotes peace, unity and tolerance through music.

We attended one workshop in the National Indoor Arena on Thursday 8th December. The final part of the Peace Proms is where we will perform with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland and a host of top soloists in a concert in the RDS on Sunday 5th February at 1pm.We will sing with a choir of up to 3,000 children, perform with a full symphony youth orchestra and work with one of the UK’s leading professional conductors – Greg Beardsell. WE CAN’T WAIT!!!

We travelled to Kilnaleck Astro Turf Pitches on Friday 18th November.  It was great to be able to show our skills and tricks that our rugby coach Jon taught us. Thank you to our parents for bringing us on the day! 

Congratulations to our classmate Conor who has qualified for the World Irish Dancing Competition in Montreal next year! We are so proud of you Conor.

We were excited to take a walk up through our beautiful village to admire the spooky creations that the Mountnugent Tidy Village Committee created. Thank you kindly to Colette Kearney who talked us through each decoration and how they were made…who knew old trampoline covers and chicken wire was so effective!

Thank you kindly to Ms O’Rourke who organised Maths stations in our hall to finish our Maths week, we had great fun!

On Friday we celebrated European Schools Sports day with some co-operative balloon games! The wind didn’t help but added to the fun!!

Collaborative Artwork and discussing some lovely friendship quotes was just some of the activities we did for friendship week

6th class had their graduation mass on Wednesday! We wish them all the very best as they move on to secondary school and we thank them for their kindness, enthusiasm and good spirit! How lucky we were in Scoil Bhríde to have such lovely pupils!

Ms Browne’s frying pan was busy last week as we had a yummy breakfast morning!
