Lá Glas in aid of rebel wheelers
Our Lá Glas donation went to a charity very close to our hearts this year, Rebel Wheelers. This charity works to empower children with a physical disability by introducing them to sports in a fun and safe environment. One of our students Rían Somers is involved with the charity and his dad Fergal came into our assemblies to tell us more about the work they do. We even watched a video of Rían scoring his first basket against Kerry! Rebels Abú! 😁

The halla was filled with colour and creativity at Scoil Bhríde for a very special assembly to mark World Book Day 2023. Mrs. Howard read The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt to the whole school! There were crayons of all different colours scattered around the school...
The week has been filled with fun activities to continue to inspire and encourage a love of reading among the children...
After a week of searching and following clues across the school, Mrs. Howard finally found Wally!

We also took part in One School, One Book and all the classes read The Vanishing Lake by Paddy Donnelly. He is an Irish author living in Belgium and we really enjoyed his magical story influenced by Loughareema (The Vanishing Lake) in Ballycastle near where he grew up.
As a school, we recommend this book! 👍 |

We loved dressing up as our favourite characters and sharing our favourite books with our friends and buddies at school. Some of us were even inspired by our fellow school mates! Check out our fabulous costumes below.

STEM academy
Our two 4th classes are taking part in STEM lessons on Wind Energy as part of the Johnson and Johnson Schools programme. Each Wednesday they participate over an interactive Zoom and are learning all about wind energy and will be making windmills over the coming weeks. We are all looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
4th class have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work as part of the STEM DePuy (Johnson & Johnson) school programme over the past few weeks. The children learned about renewable energy and the many ways using renewable energy sources can help the environment. During the programme, members of the team visited the school and the children made their own house and attached a wind turbine to it in order to generate electricity to light up the houses.
The highlight of the programme was our visit to the site to see a real wind turbine and take part in STEM activities with the staff. It was an amazing learning experience and a great beginning to Engineers Week in our school, inspiring many of the children to consider a career in engineering in the future!

important changes to our attendance policy
We have recently reviewed our attendance policy. Like all other schools nationally attendance decreased significantly during the Covid 19 Pandemic due to illness and the national health and safety requirements around self-isolation and restricting movement. There was also quite a lot of illness just before Christmas but thankfully since we returned in January our attendance levels have improved again. While the school will continue to be guided by Public Health advice and guidelines, parents/guardians are encouraged to limit pupil absences as much as possible. Regular school attendance is a critical factor in your child’s emotional, social and educational development. "Every day counts!" (Tusla)
Attendance and punctuality levels are recorded electronically on Aladdin daily by class teacher/secretary and any concern regarding an individual’s attendance/punctuality is reported to the Principal/Deputy. Following our review, I just wish to highlight the following change in the way we record attendance/absence. Roll call will take place at 10.20 a.m. each morning for all classes. Pupils who are not present for the Roll Call at 10.20 a.m. will be marked absent (Rules for National Schools). If a pupil arrives after roll call, they will be marked absent but the time of arrival is still recorded on Aladdin.

IRISH SIGN LANGUAGE
Ms. Feeney's second class presented what they are learning about Irish Sign Language at assembly. Classes from 1st - 4th are being taught sign language by Eimear, an Irish Sign Language Tutor. They are learning the alphabet and signs for some words. Ms. Feeney's class also did their own research about sign language and created posters to hang around the school to encourage everyone to use sign language.
Check out the video below, where second class will tell you more about Irish Sign Language.

The stage was set to mark the wonderful occasion of Grandparents Day at Scoil Bhríde. After missing out for the past few years, we were delighted to once again welcome the grandparents and special people of the children from third class.

The children recited a beautiful poem about their grandparents and performed Count On Me. Afterwards everyone enjoyed a chat over a cup of tea and took the opportunity to take pictures at the photo booth. The children were also excited to show their classrooms, where they learn everyday, to their grandparents and special people. You can see a quick peek of the celebration below in case you missed it.
