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

What a busy and brilliant time we are having in P4/5 🌟 📚 World Book Day Fun: We loved dressing up for World Book Day and celebrating our favourite characters. The creativity was amazing! 🧪 Displacement Investigations: We explored displacement using coins, marbles, golf balls, eggs and much more. There was lots of predicting, testing and measuring. 💧 Capacity Carousel: We ordered bottle capacities, completed capacity word searches and developed our skills with iPad games all about capacity. ✍️ Jumpstart Shared Writing (Fairtrade Theme): We have been working hard on our shared writing, focusing on Fairtrade and why it is so important around the world. 💭 Worry Catchers: After reading ‘Ruby’s Worry’, we created our own worry catchers to help us manage big feelings and share our thoughts in a positive way. 🔤 Sensory Phonics: Practical phonics activities helped us practise our weekly sound in fun and engaging ways. 🗺️ Coordinates Game: We played a coordinates game collecting gems and winning points. There was fantastic teamwork and great use of coordinates! 🎨 Designing Book Covers: We designed new covers for our favourite books with so much creativity and attention to detail. 🎭 Watching the P6/7 Show, ‘Cinderella Rockerfella’: We thoroughly enjoyed watching the fantastic P6/7 performance. What a show! We are so proud of all the hard work, enthusiasm and teamwork shown by everyone in P4/5. Keep it up 👏
🌟 Shared Education 🌟 This week our P5 pupils had a fantastic time taking part in a Shared Education Play Day with our friends from Downpatrick Primary School in the Scout Hall. The children enjoyed spending time together, building new friendships and taking part in a short performance all about friendship and working together. It was wonderful to see the pupils’ confidence, teamwork and enthusiasm as they performed for the parents who came along to watch.
