St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

We have just received some very exciting news! St. Peter’s has become the first school in Ireland to receive funding under Salesforce.org’s Circle the Schools programme. Under the scheme – originally developed in the US – St. Peter’s will receive $100,000 (€92,000) grant to upgrade it’s digital literacy, special educational needs and STEM teaching capabilities.

A portion of the grant will go towards the creation of a new computer room with state of the art technology and also towards the creation of a multi-sensory room. This room will allow students a place to aid creativity and support those with complex needs.

In the words of Charlotte Finn, Vice-President, EMEA programmes at Salesforce.Org, ‘School is a place where children’s futures are shaped and we believe that all children should have the same opportunities for their future development. Circle the Schools is an important initiative that gives schools the necessary resources to make significant difference to children’s lives’.

Salesforce employees will also have an important role to play in this partnership. In addition to assisting children with STEM projects and setting up a Coder Dojo, Salesforce employees will be rolling out an ICT programme to help parents get up to speed with technology, enabling them to support their children’s development in this area.

Dr. David Dempsey, Executive Director and Senior Vice-President at Salesforce, believes that ‘We have such a vibrant technology sector in this country and the opportunities that exist within it are only going to continue to grow. We need to make sure that we support our young people so that they are in a position to take advantage. We are delighted to be able to lend our expertise to work holistically with the children, teachers and parents at St. Peter’s Bray to further this cause’.

For further details please see http://www.salesforce.org/salesforce-org-brings-circle-schools-uk-ireland/ and http://www.techcentral.ie/salesforce-gives-bray-school-upgrade-round/

We look forward to developing a shared vision with Salesforce and are very grateful to them for this fantastic opportunity. I will keep you updated throughout the development of the project.

Many thanks,

Emer Whyte

Thanks to Karen for putting together the beautiful autumn and Halloween display in the doorway at the new entrance to the school.

Sincere thanks also to Susan and Brooke for making sure we had the best of bales available for the display too! Team Peter’s at its best!

Hi everyone! We can’t believe that it is almost Halloween! We have had a great fortnight. Here is what we have been up to!

Phew! We’ve been busy! Chat soon!

5th Class 🙂

In Senior Infants, we had a really exciting week. On Tuesday, we visited SuperValu to see the bakery. You can see all of our photos from our lovely trip here.

This week, we continued our work on homes and construction. Our Aistear socio-dramatic corner became an estate agency. We learned about renting and landlords. We learned words like apartment, bungalow and detached.

Look at all the beautiful homes we had for sale!

In our PlayDoh stations, there was lots of creative work this week. Our teacher noticed that we liked working in groups a lot.

Can you spot the snails, the pepperoni pizza, the For Sale sign and lots of other beautiful creations?

In our Small World station, we were busy building and making stories about our little cities and towns.

Can you see the forests we ‘planted’ during Small World?

In our Construction stations, Lego was the popular choice this week. We were excellent at planning our buildings this week.

We’ve been working on paired reading and echo reading for the last few weeks in our literacy stations.

We love working with our friends and improving our fluency and expression. These three girls are super-organised and set up their own echo reading as soon as their station time began!

We had a new activity in our stations this week to help with our fine motor skills. We used cotton buds to dot paint our sight words. This girl has beautifully neat work!

We always love using our whiteboards. These really detailed pictures told stories about our news and about our friends.

We also use our whiteboards for writing notes to each other and for practising our blending – look at this excellent work!

This week, we were working on the story of 6 and learning how to keep our Maths copies neat. This is beautiful work from Izabel and Jasmin.

We celebrated our attendance this week with our first certificates of the school year. There were 17 certificates this month and we came second in the class attendance awards, only just behind the fantastic Junior Infants!

This week, in PE, we worked on our relays. We were exhausted afterwards, but our running is really improving!

We have one more week on the theme of homes and after that, we’re going to be starting a new theme.

In Junior Infants, we have been getting used to the idea of doing an hour of play each morning for Aistear. Our first theme was ‘Space’ as last week was space week.

In this collage, Garylee and Fia did wonderful teamwork in which Garylee made a spaceship and Fia made an alien. Oisin and Reece were also enjoying their playtime in the malleable area and both boys created wonderful aliens. In the role play area, some of the boys and girls look very scary indeed!

Below, in the construction area, Leon and Kaiden were working together to construct spaceships and rockets. They did a super job. Fia made very tasty ‘space-getti’ as inspired by the ‘space-getti’ in our ‘Welcome to Alien School’ storybook – yummy! While each group of children took part in play, Ella-Jayne and Garylee got a chance to do some wonderful writing at our writing station. The boys and girls love to get the chance to go to the writing station and use bright paper, chalk boards, metallic colouring pencils and coloured pens! They especially love that they are allowed to write on the table at this station!

During Ready, Set Go Maths, the children in Junior Infants were doing great work at sorting their shapes according to shape, colour and size this week. Agata, just before tidying up, managed to squeeze in some time to make a rocket using the shapes on the table – can you spot her red rocket?

Please feel free to come and visit our classroom – you could see our rockets that we created using 5 rectangles, 1 triangle, some chalk and glitter glue!

Talk to you again soon!

Lots of love,

Junior Infants ♥

Junior Infants were the first class to win the attendance award in St. Peter’s this year. They had the best attendance school wide, for the month of September! Well done Junior Infants!

As their prize, Junior Infants attended the St. Peter’s cinema. It was SO much fun! To start, each Junior Infant was given a ticket that they needed to look after very carefully. They lined up at the cinema entrance, gave their ticket to the cinema officials and each got to collect their popcorn, sweets and drink from the cinema shop. After a security announcement, the movie was ready to begin. The class enjoyed Madagascar – what a special treat!

Keep up the wonderful attendance Junior Infants! Ms. Farren is so proud 🙂

SuperValu Bray very kindly welcomed our class of Senior Infants to their bakery today.

The class learned about food safety, wore the hats and gloves that the bakers wear, watched the jam doughnuts being filled with jam and then got to cover the doughnuts in sugar.

After that, they watched a cake being covered in cream and sprinkles. Finally, they got to watch the dough being kneaded into bread rolls. They got to take home their doughnuts and got  a goodie bag too (and the teachers got doughnuts too!)

Thanks so much to SuperValu Bray for being so kind to us all. We had a brilliant morning and learned a lot. Special thanks to Ruby’s mam and dad who organised the trip for us!

Here’s our Animoto of our photos from the trip:

This is our Senior Infant update for last week! We use Class Story with Class Dojo every day to keep our families in the loop about all the goings on in Senior Infants, but here are some of our photos of our work from last week.

We’re learning about the colours. Last week, we learned about primary colours. This week, we learned all about secondary colours and made colour wheel umbrellas.

Lots of fun in the Aistear sand stations during the week

The socio-dramatic station was the construction yard and the architect’s office this week.

We used pictures of famous buildings to inspire our constructions during Aistear.

We revised our work on the senses in SESE

A fantastic book that we read this week!

Our Mondrian art display!

Paired reading during our literacy stations

Using our blending books during literacy stations

DEAR time during literacy stations

Fine motor skills and sight words during literacy stations

We visited the church on Friday and lit candles.

Ms Whyte gave us lollipops for being so good!

Always working on our Jolly Phonics!

Phew! What a busy time! Keep up the great work everyone!

 Welcome back to another year and to our monthly All Star Attenders’ Post. For those of you who are new, each month we make an effort to recognise all those students who have had 100 % attendance for the month. Each student with perfect attendance is given a certificate along with all students who fully completed homework. Those who have full attendance and full homework for the month are also rewarded with a prize such as homework off.

We also run a class competition and the class with the best attendance for the month wins a prize. Some of the prizes last year included trips to The Mermaid Arts Theatre to see a show, Cinema Experience in the Classroom, Ice-cream and Smoothie making lessons and more.

The winning class this month with best overall attendance is Junior Infants. Well done to Ms. Farren’s class. Check back next month to see Junior Infants enjoying their prize.

Let’s not forget all the boys and girls from other classes who did brilliantly. Check out the list below for all students who had full attendance for the month of September. 

JUNIOR INFANTS
