Junior Entrepreneur Programme
This week , the girls and boys from Mr. Forde's 5th and 6th class attended the national showcase for the Junior Entrepreneur Programme in the RDS in Dublin. This is a journey they started all the way back in October and through a lot of hard work they managed to raise a brilliant €1,215 for charity.
Last week, the class presented their cheque to Karen from Down Syndrome Cork who was delighted to speak to the children about all the great uses their money will be put to. Rang 5/6 worked tirelessly on their project and thoroughly deserved their day out in Dublin, even getting shortlisted for awards in three categories.
Well done to all in the 'TDIY' company and a special thank you to all who supported the project this year and rocked their odd socks on World Down Syndrome Day.

Walk to School Week
This week is ‘National Walk to School Week’ and Scoil Bhríde is participating as it is part of our ongoing Green Schools Programme. We are urging as many parents and children as possible to walk to school this week. Parents who normally drive their children to school are encouraged to ‘Park and Stride’ i.e. park away from the school gate and walk with, or allow children to walk, the last part of the journey to school.
The following are some good sites for Park and Stride stations:
- Rathcormac Inn Area
- Main Street
- Community Hall Car Park
Please ensure you take the following precautions:
- ‘Be Safe Be Seen’- wear your high visibility vest (if you have one)
- Dress for the weather
- Use the ‘Safe Cross Code’ when crossing the road.
Digital Technology
6th class pupils have been making use of the school's recent purchase of 30 Chromebooks! Who knew 6th class could be so engrossed in their work?!
Confirmation 2019
The ceremony for the Sacrament of Confirmation took place on Wednesday, May 1st. Congratulations to all the Confirmation candidates from 6th class. We hope you and your families had a wonderful day on Wednesday.
Port of Cork Art Competition
This year 5th Class are taking part in the Port of Cork Art Competition with the theme of the project being: Maintaining a Healthy Harbour. Using recycled materials and waste from the harbour, the pupils came up with their own 3D piece which was designed to make people stop and think about the amount of plastic we use and where it ends up. Their creativity and artistic skills have been put to great use and we wish them the best of luck!
Confirmation Retreat
This year a Confirmation Retreat to Corrin was organised for all Confirmation candidates from Scoil Bhríde and Bartlemy. The pupils had a fantastic day making their way up to Corrin in groups. At the top Canon Leamy facilitated a beautiful prayer service. Everyone enjoyed it immensely....and the weather too!
STEM Academy
5th and 6th class pupils are extremely lucky to have been chosen to pilot STEM Academy in the school. Engineers from Johnson & Johnson have been working with us to teach us about computer programming. We have been using iPads and Dot and Dash to learn about algorithms, sequencing, loops, events and much more! Fridays in Scoil Bhríde have been great fun!
World Book Day
6th Class met with their buddies in Senior Infants on World Book Day to read their favourite stories to them and help them with their book reviews.
Ms Dorgan's class had great fun dressing up as their favourite characters and read their favourite books.
Chess
5th and 6th Class pupils have the exciting opportunity to take part in chess tournaments this year! For those who are learning and for those who already know, it is a great chance to practise their logic!
Gymnastics
|
Every class has had the opportunity to practise their balancing skills and hand-eye coordination in Gymnastics this term. Every child has been busy learning new movements: from rolls to somersaults, V-sits to crabs, cartwheels to handstands. The children are so flexible and as you can see, they really enjoyed it!
