muintir na tíre school garden competition
waking up the school garden!
We began work on reawakening the garden and bringing it back to life after a LONG sleepy winter! We are decorating our signs, weeding, watering and monitoring for delicate shoots which we will protect and guide to growth. To date we have planted potatoes, onions and carrots with lots of help and guidance from our caretaker Colin. We are also busy indoors tending to salads and flowers which we will soon sow. Check out our hard work below.
GLOBE online zoom presentation
Congratulations to the 6th class pupils who presented our project at the online GLOBE Eurasia Air Quality Student Conference for Primary and Secondary Schools on March 11th. The standard of the presentation from Scoil Bhríde Rathcormac was very high and remarked upon by the experts. We were all very proud of Theo, Hugh, Luke and Odhran who presented so well despite feeling nervous about the occasion. The experience of being part of and presenting on this project will stand to you!
We are continuing work on our Anti-Idling Campaign 2026!

Buddy Activities: World book day reading & easter
February art
We were inspired by many different areas of our studies for February art. We started off the month by weaving St. Brigid's crosses from pipe cleaners. We also explored one point perspective drawings (2D / 3D shape in Maths). Finally, we concluded our WW2 studies and class novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by recreating city skyline images during Blitzkreig or "Lightning War" used by Germany in WW2.

GLOBE Air quality campaign 2025
Sixth Class have just kicked off the annual GLOBE Air Quality Campaign! We have completed the GLOBE Air Quality Survey over the past two years at our school. The experiment measures Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) levels at three different locations (Sheltered, Car Park and Near Main Road) on our school grounds. Nitrogen Dioxide is an air pollutant mainly associated with traffic.
This year we are again participating in the campaign to measure pollution levels in the air around our school. We had to place the test tubes at three different locations on our school grounds and will provide samples for analysis. The tubes will be in place for four weeks and we will take them down on October 23rd. We are looking forward to receiving feedback on our experiment and comparing the results to 2022, 2023 and 2024 to see if the air quality around our school is improving. 🤞 In addition this year, we are also required to conduct two traffic counts and weather observations each week! So if you see us out and about in the mornings with our clipboards, it is to collect data to help analyse and improve air quality at our school! 😁

A VERY Busy Start to 6th class!
We are enjoying our gymnastic lessons and getting outdoors for the last of the summer sunshine. We had a lot of work to do tending to the school garden after summer. We had to harvest turnips, onions, beetroot and potatoes. We took them home to sample them and they tasted delicious! We look forward to working on the garden in the year ahead! 😁
😄 BUddy central!!! 😄
There was great excitement, laughter and fun when we had a long overdue catch up with our buddies after the summer break!

rathcormac autumn show 2025
There was great participation across Scoil Bhríde once again this year for Rathcormac Community Council's annual Autumn Show. Children from all ages across the school did themselves so proud participating and winning prizes in so many categories such as baking, art and crafts, photography and vegetable growing. The produce grown by the children in the school garden featured also with beetroot and potatoes winning prizes also. Well done to all the children who entered and supported this wonderful event. 😊
