Welcome to 5th and 6th class!!!

Tour of the Celtic Explorer Vessel

To deepen our knowledge of ocean conservation, we headed to the Galway Docks on Friday last for a tour of the Celtic Explorer Vessel. Ran by the Marine Institute, the Celtic Explorer is the largest state-owned research vessel. We met with the captain of the vessel and some of the marine scientists that work on board. It was a great experience.

Hot Food Meals

Our 5th & 6th class students got to sample some Hot Food Meals and we hope they’ll be introduced to our school soon!

The meals were both nutritious and delicious and they enjoyed tasting a variety of healthy options.

Quiz Time

Our school had four teams in each quiz this year , two for 3rd and 4th and two from 5th and 6th.

The first quiz we went to in St Brigid’s College where Kilchreest NS organised an amazing quiz for local schools.

A week later we went to the Credit Union Quiz in Ballinasloe in the Emerald Ballroom. It was a great experience and all teams did very well in both quizzes.

Maths Week

In class, we celebrated Maths Week with lots of fun activities! We challenged ourselves with a Zoom quiz, estimated sweets in a jar (yum!), and tackled daily problems that got our brains buzzing. We even organised a maths trail for the infants, complete with a 'sweet treat' waiting for them at the end.

A Visit From St. Killians

Thanks to Ms. Davoren & Ms. Ward from St. Killian's Secondary School in New Inn for calling in to see out 5th & 6th class students. We are looking forward to their Opening Evening on Thursday 24th of October @ 6.30pm.

French

As part of the Languages for Schools, 5th and 6th class have been learning French with Ms. Catherine O'Reilly.

School Tour 2023

5th and 6th class had a ball at Lilliput Adventure Centre for their school tour. The instructors guided us through Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Capture the Flag, Aeroball, Digital Scavenger Hunt, Canoeing and Bog Hopping. Can you guess which activity was our favourite?

The students enjoyed their well earned pizza and soft drinks before hopping on the bus to Golden Island Shopping Centre. A great day was had by all!!

Fís Film Project

Here in Scoil Bhríde, we have enjoyed taking part in FÍS for the first time. We have developed our creative thinking, language, ICT, imagination and problem solving as well as our team work, maths, visual arts and most of all our collaboration skills. We had a lot of fun together as a class in putting this project together! We will soon send a link for you to watch our movie.

FÍS is a film project initiative across Primary schools which encourages children to explore the medium of film.

6th Class Basketball Competition

Well done to the 6th class girls for getting to the semi-final of the Shield competition held in Cregmore N.S. It was lovely to see such good team work. All involved received fabulous goodie bags.

FAI Soccer

Well done to our 5th and 6th class students who took part in the FAI soccer blitz at Shiven Rovers this week! They had a great day!

World Book Day

We really enjoyed dressing up for World Book Day on Thursday 02/03/23. Can you guess which well known book characters we are dressed up as?

ESB Science Blast

5th and 6th class are participating in this year's ESB Science Blast programme. We devised the following research question which we are currently investigating:

"Will my resting heart rate decrease as I become fitter?"

Every day we record our resting heart rate using pulse oximeters. In order to increase our fitness levels, we walk a specified distance on the walking track every day. Our walk is timed and we strive to improve on this every day. As our walking time and hence fitness levels improve, we will analyse if there is a potential correlation between our improving fitness levels and our resting heart rate.

All data gathered is recorded in our daily log charts. This will later be transferred into our bar chart and line graph templates where we can analyse our findings and prepare to present these at the ESB Science Blast exhibition!

Keep an eye on our "latest news" section to keep up to date with our progress!

Some of our 5th and 6th class students have been busy preparing our veggie pods!

St. Brigid

We recently made St. Brigid's Day crosses. We also attended an online webinar hosted by Wexford Education Centre in which we listened to well known children's author Caroline Busher tell us some stories about St. Brigid.
