Welcome

 

As the Principal of St Brigid’s Primary School, I extend to you a very warm welcome to our website.  Through this we aim to give you a flavour of some of the school events, visitors and experiences offered to our children.

St Brigid’s is a Catholic maintained, co-educational primary school, where the children are at the heart of every decision we make and everything we do. We value the great relationships that we have formed with our parents and acknowledge the dedicated work and commitment of the Staff, Governors and Parents Association.

We enjoy a warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and it is this distinctive ethos which enables the children to flourish and succeed giving them the skills, attitudes and desire to achieve their full potential. 

I hope that you find our website informative and interesting and gain some insight into how we fulfil our school motto: 'Learning and Growing Together'.  If you would like to see our school and experience our ethos I would be delighted to meet with you.

Thank you for visiting our website.

Kind regards

Dolores Miller

Principal

P2 Weekly Update 🌟 This week in Primary 2 we have been very busy! We enjoyed outdoor learning, where we practised our phonics by building words using sounds and digraphs. The children loved taking their learning outside and working together to create new words. We also had lots of fun during Actisport with Graham, playing energetic games and developing our teamwork skills. Our Nurture in 5 time helped us focus on wellbeing and building positive relationships. As part of our jungle topic, we carried out a fun camouflage investigation, and the children loved being little scientists! Our fundraising activities, including a fantastic talent show, were all in support of Trócaire. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Well done, P2! 👏
P7L had a splashing time outdoors with our Numeracy lessons measuring capacity this week. In Literacy, we used our Jumpstart lessons to create powerful verbs based on an image. We then generated our images to 500 years ago and rewrote our sentences in the past tense. Next, we created a futuristic image and rewrote our sentences in the future tense. In ICT, we have been working on Digital Art and have been learning all about colour, line, shape and space and texture. We produced stained glass windows using Canvas; celebrating our identity. We ended the week making memories with our P1 buddies.
