The children in Early Start settled in really well this year and they have had lots of fun in their classrooms. They designed pumpkins to enter in a competition in the Botanic Gardens and they took a trip there in October to see their pumpkin. They really enjoyed dressing up for Halloween. The children and teachers took a trip to Imaginosity in November. They posted letters to Santa in December. March was a busy month! They dressed up as their favourite book character for World Book Day and they led our St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Book Week is always an exciting week in St. Brigid’s. Ms May organised some really fun activities this year. Boys from St. Fergal’s school visited and they read stories to our children. The junior infant children and their parents listened to a story together in the library. We had a dress up day for World Book Day. Some of the children and teachers dressed up as their favourite story characters. As a very special treat every child in the school got to take home a copy of the story Giraffe’s Can’t Dance. We are really looking forward to next year’s Book Week!

Christmas is always such a fun and exciting time in St. Brigid’s. We had a visit from Santa and he brought all the children a little present. Each class level put on a Christmas performance for the parents and families. They spent lots of time practising in their classrooms and in the hall. All their hard work paid off and the families really enjoyed the performances. The also children performed their songs and plays for the girls in the senior school. We got to watch the girls perform their songs as well. We can’t wait to see what the children have in store next Christmas!

For Maths Week this year we invited the girls from the senior school to come into our classrooms to play maths games with all the children. The children really enjoyed playing games with and learning from the older children and the older children enjoyed being the teachers.

The children in our school love Halloween so dress up day was great fun! There were lots of fun, scary and creative costumes this year. Well done everyone for all the hard work you put into your costumes.
