St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

  Hi everyone! You might remember that we entered the Discover Primary Science Awards and that we displayed our project here on this site. We were absolutely delighted to receive our plaque to honour our participation in the awards. Well done to all of the classes for all the work you put in. It’s an amazing achievement and we look forward to putting our award up on the wall. Representatives from 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Class with the award.  

  Over the past two months in the school, all the boys have been working hard to complete the Discover Primary Science and Maths Award. This has involved a huge amount of work from both the pupils and the teachers in each class. We hope you enjoy our upcoming blog posts on the different activities that happened in the school. A big thank you to everyone who participated in it!  

  For the Discover Primary Science and Maths Award, Fifth Class and Mr. Curran completed the Greenwave Section. For this, we focused on the amount of rainfall in Bray during the month of April.  

  Hello, we are Ms. Brennan’s 2nd Class. This is our first time to do the Discover Primary Science and Maths Project. We are really excited. We completed part two of the project where we designed and made experiments from the Materials strand. We made Lava Lamps. We made a big one for the class and then we all made ones to bring home. We hope you like our project.  

Fourth class looked at the Energy and Forces strand of the Science curriculum focusing on the topic of Gravity. We integrated this into other subjects such as Maths, Geography and History.  

  As part of the Discover Primary Science and Maths Award, our principal, Ms. Whyte, arranged for us to have a visit from the amazing SkyDome Academy in school back in March.  It was a cool way to learn about the Science and the Solar System.  

  Hi, I’m Dillon Ebbs and I’m in 6th Class. Every year, St. Peter’s BNS participates in the BT Young Scientist Competition. Most people don’t know this, but the BT Young Scientist has a primary section called the ‘Primary Science Fair’. We have entered this for many years and our projects have been about many things including a study on lifeboats, the physics of the Funfair and how chocolate is made.  

  Engineers’ Week took place between the 25th of February and the 3rd of March. We all took part in Science experiments and K’nex challenges to get us thinking about what life would be like to be an engineer! Third Class wanted to find out more about aeronautical engineering as many of us love to make and experiment with paper aeroplanes. Here is how we carried out our investigation.
