All classes took part in a drumming workshop this month. Ms. Gleeson’s Junior and Senior Infants did a lovely drumming piece for us to showcase what they learned.
4th class concluded the assembly with some riddles and jokes for the whole school.
Well done girls!
All classes in the school participated in a Drum Nature workshop on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th of April. The child used lots of different types of drums and percussion instruments to compose unique rhythms. They learned about polyrhythm (two different rhythms playing at the same tempo) and had so much fun creating music and using the drums. A huge thanks to our fantastic Parents’ Association, who fully funded this fabulous workshop!

We celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge here in Bunscoil Bhríde between 11th – 22nd of March. The classes took part in quizes and games as Gaeilge, dressed up for lá glas and took part in 2 céilís over the fortnight. All classes were making such a fantastic effort to ‘bí ag labhairt as Gaeilge’! Maith sibh!
Ms Garrahy’s Second Class and Ms Coughlan’s Third Class led our monthly assembly on Thursday the 29th of February. The classes discussed all of the news from February including the results of the quizzes held with the boys school and the Cumann na mBunscoil quiz. They spoke about the sports news in basketball, and the beginning of football and cross country training. They also talked about the importance of lent and the second class girls’ upcoming confession. They discussed our recent inspection for our 11th Green flag and learning about planting vegetables with Paddy Madden. The girls ended the assembly by performing “I Can See Clearly Now” to celebrate the beginning of Spring. Well done to each class for a beautiful assembly.
Our Third and Fourth Classes participated in a quiz in the school on Wednesday 14th February. We welcomed the boys from the boys school who visited to partake in the quiz and worked alongside our girls in mixed teams. See below for pictures of the winning teams being presented with their medals. Well done to all classes who participated! Our Fifth and Sixth Class will visit the boys school this Friday to complete in the annual quiz.
Gardening expert, Paddy Madden, completed gardening workshops with all the classes on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th of February. Paddy spoke to all classes about food miles and the importance of eating food that is locally sourced. All the planting was completed indoors and the classes will be watering and caring for the seedlings indoors for the next 3 weeks. We look forward to planting our seedlings in the school garden when the weather improves and we are excited to harvest our crops of fruit and vegetable in the coming months! Thanks to Ms. Kelly for organising the gardening workshops and our caretaker, Ray for ensuring our garden is prepared and ready for Paddy’s workshops.
We would like to sincerely thank Carmel Somers who is engaging all classes in Irish dancing lessons at Bunscoil Bhríde. We have picked up some wonderful dancing skills and look forward to continuing our dancing practice throughout the year as well as at our céilí for Seachtain na Gaeilge in March.
