Music to Our Ears! - Rm. 8

27/2/2015

 
The girls in Second Class (Rm. 8) have been very musical of late. They have been busy rehearsing a lovely Irish song, An Dufair, for the upcoming Seachtain na Gaeilge ceolchoirm. They have also been learning to play the tin whistle and wanted to record one of their favourite tunes Hot Cross Buns. Click below to hear how we're doing!

Internet Safety - Be SMART when surfing online!

9/2/2015

Tuesday 10th of February is 'Safer Internet Day 2015' and this year's theme is 'Let's create a better internet together'.  We are focusing on Internet Safety for this month in our computer class and with our class teachers.

We are learning how the internet can be a very powerful and useful educational tool.  It is also a portal to an online world, so it is important to be responsible and safe while surfing the web. 

Parents may find our 'Internet Safety' section under the Parent's tab useful. WEBWISE.IE is also a very informative website for children and parent's to use when learning how to stay safe online and what  apps and websites are age appropriate.

See our Computer Class Blog to find out more about what we are doing in our computer class.

Let there be light! 4th Class Room 12

7/2/2015

Ms Sheridan divided us into small groups of 3 or 4 children. Each group was given a battery, a bulb and two wires. She also left bulb holders and screwdrivers on our desks! We had to discover for ourselves how to make the bulbs light up. It was so much fun! We learned that for electrical energy to work, the wires must make a circle from the battery to the bulb and back again. This is called a circuit. Here are some photos of how we did it.

                             Blue Star Project Room 16

6/2/2015

The 6th class girls in Ms. Phelan's class are busy undertaking a European Union project called the Blue Star project. They are presently looking at historical, geographical, cultural and political aspects of the EU. To date, a lovely story about three dolls which survived World War Two has created great enthusiasm, as the girls design and make clothes for the three dolls. We have also done project work about the countries the dolls have come from, Poland, France and Hungary. We regularly correspond to pen-pals in both Poland and France.

Today we held a class election for two Blue Star reps. Eight girls spent the past two weeks campaigning with their ideas for Blue Star, and the girls with the most votes were Alana Fitzsimons and Suzanne Carey. Well done to them and all who participated in the election. We had a voting booth as well as ballot papers. The girls are already looking forward to voting for real when they turn 18!

St. Brigid's Basketball Team win League Final in National Basketball Arena

4/2/2015

16 Comments

 
A magnificent effort from the girls in green saw them win out worth winners in the mini basketball inaugural Dublin league final on Mon. Feb 2nd in the National Basketball Arena. The final score was 38-10, in favour of St. Brigid's. All 20 girls who had played in the league games over the past few months were presented with medals at the end of the game.

The tremendous support of the two 6th classes, Ms. Ryan and the parents who attended, added greatly to the occasion.

Well done to all the girls, and we are now looking forward to playing in the Dublin mini basketball tournament in May!

What a lovely sunny day we got for the first Awareness Ribbon Day run by the Caroline Foundation who raise much needed funds for cancer research. This day was extra special as it was World Cancer Day and also Caroline's birthday. We were so happy to participate in this great event and take some time to remember our much loved teacher, colleague and friend. Thank you so much to everyone who donated their 2 euro and wore their ribbons.  Some wonderfully creative things done with the ribbons at home in preparation.. Well done everyone. We moved our Drop Everything and Dance to the yard today as a special treat. Have a look at our photos and dancing below. Thanks again.

1/2/2015

 
We had a lovely end to Catholic School's Week and Multicultural Week with a Prayer Service to celebrate the feast of our School Patron Saint - Saint Brigid.  Fr Richard led us in our prayer service.  Some of the Senior Girls told us about the life St Brigid and we all joined in prayers to her.  Ms O'Byrne's class made lovely Saint Brigid crosses too.  Happy St Brigid's Day to all!! Here are the girls singing our special 'Song to Brigid'.
