Peace Proms 2025
On Sunday 2nd February our 5th and 6th Class travelled to the RDS in Dublin to take part in the Peace Proms.
The children performed with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland and a host of top soloists in a concert on the day. The children sang with a choir of up to 3,000 children and worked with one of the UK’s leading professional conductors – Greg Beardsell. It was noisy but brilliant! Well done to the children on all their hard work learning all the songs and actions.
Thank you to our Board of Management and Parents Association for subsidising the cost of the bus and thank you to our parents that travelled to see us, we hope you all enjoyed the show!
Christmas in Scoil Bhríde
It has been a busy few weeks for pupils in Scoil Bhríde in the lead up to Christmas. It began with Junior and Senior Infants performing The Nativity, followed by 1st to 6th Class performing in our Christmas Carol service. The pupils were brilliant and displayed a wide range of talents which brought great joy to all in attendance. Classes took a stroll down to the Village to have a closer look at all the wonderful Christmas decorations and displays. Fifth and Sixth Class wrote Christmas cards for residents of the local nursing home. Finally, we were treated to a visit by Mr and Mrs Santa Claus.
Science Week in 5th/6th Class
Fifth and Sixth class pupils enjoyed Science Week 2024. In class, pupils completed some STEM challenges and for homework they completed science projects and carried out experiments which they presented to the class on Thursday. We had a tornado in a bottle, made oobleck, lava lamps, created a cloud in a bottle, investigated the density of various liquids, demonstrated air pressure and surface tension, researched some famous scientists and even made a motorised engine!!
