St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

Earlier today, two buses of 1st to 5th class students set off on the school tour of 2015 in Fort Lucan. Everyone had a fantastic day and we were extremely proud of the behaviour and school spirit of all the students who went along – lots of smiles in the photos below!

This Vine sums up how well the day went – sleepy heads on the bus home are a good sign of a great day out!

Lots of fun on the trampoline!

Red slide or blue? Which did you choose?

You can find photos from our school tour 2014 here and from 2013 here!

We in third class were delighted with our production of Aladdin Trouble – A Panto Like No Other!

We would like to thank all the parents, family members and all of St. Peter’s for coming to see our show. We worked really hard on our production together with songs, dances, props and costumes and are all VERY proud of ourselves.

Here are some snaps from the performance!

Bridget, Abbi and Caoilynn (thanks to Abbi’s Mum for the cool costumes)!

Our Narrator Kayden – he did a fantastic job!

Dylan (the footballing genius), Dean (the charming dancer), Billy (our suitor with impressive gym moves) and Casey as Jasmine – well done to each of our suitors and Jasmine!

A group snap of the fantastic cast and their proud teacher Ms. Farren!

What a fantastic day out 6th Class had last Monday on their school tour! We visited Causey Farm in Meath, where we played the bodhrán, jumped in bogs, milked cows, blew bubbles, met animals of all sorts, rode in a tractor trailer, had a wellie-throwing contest and completed an obstacle course! Phew! What a brilliant day out. Thanks to Ms. Fry for joining us on the day, she was a helpful star to us all day. It was so lovely that Ms. Fry could be with us as she is has done so much to assist our class at various stages in the year.

Check out our Tweets and Vines from the day. We have a huge Animoto video at the end too! Check them out, you never know who you’ll see!

6th Class school tour tomorrow! We're off to visit the Royals in Meath! @causeyfarm here we come! 😊 #6thClass

6th Class absolutely LOVE the High Jump. It was the highlight of every Sports Day in St. Peter’s. We completed out last ever Sports Day last Friday. It was a truly brilliant day! Many thanks to Paddy for making it so special.

Would you like to check out just some of the High Jump highlights? What a high-flying way to see out our last ever Sports Day!

We have yet another Animoto video here too!

6th Class recently had a lovely opportunity to visit our local community and family centre in Little Bray. This is a brilliant place that means a great deal to all of us, welcoming many of our students to attend days out, complete homework and receive all sorts of support there!

Check out some of really fun activities we completed – a snapshot of the wonderful facilities and services offered by the centre! Thanks to Michelle in School Completion for arranging the entire trip, and a massive thanks to the kind and warm centre staff who made the day so special!

Jordan’s Lego Stop Motion sequel from St Peter’s, Bray on Vimeo.

Last year, Jordan’s first Stop Motion Movie was a huge success throughout the school. When it finished, he promised his fans that there would be a part two in the coming year. Ladies and gentlemen, here we have it, ‘Lex Returns’, Jordan’s long awaited sequel. It’s back and it’s bigger and better than ever. The usual ‘good guys’ like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutles, Superman, Aquaman and Wonderwoman are back to save the day. After a breakout from jail, all the villains think they’re going to escape, but is that the case? Watch above to find out.

Friday was a very active day for our classes! Junior and Senior Infants went for a special walk in the morning and then our older classes walked to Shanganagh playground – even 1st and 2nd classes, who had very tired legs when they got back! You can see photos from previous visits to Shanganagh here.

Here are a couple of Vines and photos from the day – we had great fun!

Fun in the park! #6thClass pic.twitter.com/oWZUQM2cOT

Toontastic! from St Peter’s, Bray on Vimeo.

Hi my name is Codie and I’m in 3^rd class. I hope you enjoy my Toontastic video. I spent a while writing the story and then making it! My characters are Tony, JJJ, Bender the robot and the two bullies, King Arnes and Onetwo. It’s about a science fair where the bullies try to steal JJJ  and Tony’s invention- Bender, but they fail! I hope you like watching it.

Last Friday, we had a new twist on an old tradition on St Peter’s – the Mini-World Cup! You can read all about last year’s Mini-World Cup here. This year, we had three Mini World Cup tournaments – Junior and Senior Infants played in the morning, 1st and 2nd classes played between break and lunchtime and the older classes had their tournament after lunch. Here are a few photos and Vines from the day – and you can read more about the infant classes and their tournament here.
