6th Class Term 2 round-up!

Hi everyone! We hope you are enjoying the holidays! Here is what 6th Class have been up to in the run up to the holidays. As always, school has been very busy!

Along with every school in the country we celebrated Proclamation Day 2016.

6th Class students made speeches and did themselves proud.

We were honoured to welcome Create School and Wicklow County Council representatives to our classroom to help to launch an amazing mini-film recalling the events 1916.

We finished our 1916 projects too. We put so much work into them! When we shared them on Twitter we got lots of cool retweets.

Including from the official 1916 Commemoration account.

We got crafty for St. Patrick’s Day!

We also visited the Ballywaltrim Community Centre with students from all over Bray to take part in a quiz, the final activity in our local ‘One Book, One Community’ project.

We completed the Bray Drugs Awareness course too! This was a six week course, and everyone worked so hard on it.

We embraced ‘Girl Power’ and celebrated IWD!

We were also true to our Active School flag too, many of us competed in a 3k in Avondale!

We’ve been training hard with Tommy too…

We were so sad when we finished our book, ‘The Young Rebels’. It was a great choice for One Book, One Community.

We were lucky enough to meet the author of the book.

Speaking of which, we got beautiful cards from the author!

We had a brilliant class trip to St. Enda’s, the school in Rathfarnham where Padraig Pearse was principal. It is where our book is set, an it was instrumental in the 1916 Rising story.

For the rest of the year, 6th Class will be helping the Junior Infants out with their reading too!

Stephen came in to remind us about staying safe online.

We’ve been thinking of others too.

A&H helped to run the school book fair.

And we heard from a local community support group who do incredible work in our area.

We’ve also been preparing for Confirmation and attending mass a lot during Lent.

I think that proves we all deserve this Easter break! We can’t wait to catch up from April 4th, when we are back to school. Until then, stay bloggy!

6th Class.

100 YEARS smarter?

Recently, we celebrated the 100th day of the school year in St. Peter’s and we had lots of events to mark the day! We are all 100 days smarter, but what would we look like if we were 100 YEARS smarter? We used an app to age some of our classes to find out!

January, What a Busy Month!!

January-Clipart-Free-11The New Year got off to a flying start in St. Peter’s Primary School! Festina Lente came to visit with beautiful miniature horses. The junior classes were allowed to pet them and they asked lots of questions on how to look after them. The new Board of Management met in early January and discussed all of the important issues relating to the school. Sixth class took part in the Primary Science Fair which runs in conjunction with the BT Young Scientist. They created and programmed a talking robot called OBOT. They had a great time in the RDS and really impressed all of the visitors to their stand. Mr. Foley’s class visited the newly re-furbished Lexicon library in Dun Laoghaire. They studied bus routes and timetabling in Maths prior to the trip. Students from fourth and sixth were up early on Saturday, the 30th of January. They met at the school at 6:30am and headed off to Galway to compete in First Lego League. Their team called ‘Smash the Trash’ came 12th out of 26 primary and secondary school teams. In addition to that, they brought home an ‘Against all Odds’ award. It was a tremendous achievement and we followed them on twitter and on a live stream all day. We celebrated ‘100 days of learning’ on the 29th of January where all of the students took part in music, dance, art and sporting activities. Students with excellent attendance were given an extra reward. I attended the Principals’ conference at the end of January and came back full of ideas. The new build is starting to take shape and we are all looking forward to getting new classrooms and offices. The main corridor normally looks quite bare in January when all of the lights and Christmas decorations have been taken down. Fifth class have been very busy over the past few weeks during their lunchtime art club, where they took the theme of ‘Under the Sea’. We now have beautiful sea creatures dangling from the ceiling all along the corridor. All in all it was a great month. Thank you so much to all of the students, parents and staff for their hard work and commitment. I look forward to seeing what February has in store for us all!
