St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

It has been very busy in Senior Infants over the past couple of weeks! We really enjoyed celebrating Grandparent’s Day, planting with Junior Infants and Second Class and learning how to follow directions during P.E. We have been presenting our work to the class in pairs and co – operating to finish some new jigsaws! We are having lots of fun working in pairs and groups during our lessons and hope you like our photos!

Oisín, Ned and Marie worked really well together as a team.

Haylie, David, Liam and Gary filled in their card in record time during our P.E. lesson on orienteering!

Competition time!

Junior infants, Ms. Ní Chionnaith and Mr. Fitzsimons had lots of fun with music today. We sang “Hey Diddle Diddle, ” and “Humpty Dumpty,” and clapped the rhythm to the songs. We love music!!

One of our favourite hobbies in third class is going to the cinema. For Tech Week 2015, we thought it would be cool to see some of the cool technology behind the scenes in the cinema. We got some help from the owner at the cinema who sent us these cool photos – have a look!

This is projection suite in the cinema!

We thought this was a great Tech Week 2015 photo – a film hard drive – we didn’t expect the film to look like this!

WOW! Look at how big the sound box is at the cinema!

We hope you’ve enjoyed looking at these behind the scenes pics as much as week have!

Congratulations to 2nd class who received their First Holy Communion at a beautiful ceremony on Sunday. It was a very special day for everyone and we were delighted to share it with our school friends in the choir, our families and the parish of St Peter’s. Well done to all of 2nd class, who read, took part in the procession and sang beautifully throughout. Everyone in St Peter’s was very proud of how hard they worked. Special thanks to the team in St Peter’s Parish, who helped us to prepare – especially Sr Patricia and Fr Eddie. Here are some of our photos from the day and from this week in school!

Thanks to everyone who made our open morning for Grandparents’ Day so special. It was lovely to have you visit our school. We had grandparents, neighbours, friends of the Parish and our Mams and Dads in to see our rooms, work and performance. We performed a couple of classics from previous shows and had a lovely time. Thanks to our Parents’ Association for their hard work and time spent serving tea, coffee and other lovely treats!

We can’t wait for Grandparents’ Day 2016!

Check out some of our recent Vine videos in 6th Class!

We hope you enjoy our work!

On such a beautiful day, can you think of anything nicer to do than spend part of the morning gardening? Prepare to be very envious of our Junior Infants, Senior Infants and 2nd class students who started their Incredible Edibles project 2015 by planting a great selection of vegetables, fruit and potatoes. 2nd class had studied what to do in advance and prepared their vocabulary and each pairing from 2nd class worked with a small group from the infant classes to share their skills. We used words like ‘compost’, ‘seeds’, ‘roots’ and ‘plant’ and we learned the best way to plant our particular vegetable. We were very impressed by all the great gardeners in the youngest classes in the school and also very proud of how well the 2nd class passed on what they’d learned and included all of their group in the planting process. We’re very excited to see how our plants turn out and we’re going to put great effort into our next job – watering them! Well done to Maddy from 2nd class, our photographer, who captured the morning so well!

We had a great day at Facebook HQ attending the Eircom Junior Spider awards!

We're having a hot chocolate, imagining what it would be like to work around Grand Canal in Facebook, Google or another company like it!

Some of our classes have been taking part in Maths 4 Fun recently with some of the members of our Parents Association. We’ve been enjoying games and activities to improve our Maths skills every Thursday. A big thanks to all of the Parents Association for all of their hard work – we’ve had great fun!
