The infant classes trialled our new outdoor learning area today which consisted of 5 stations: the mud kitchen, the water trays, the sand trays, the construction area and the outdoor instruments. They had great fun making leaf pies, building towers, exploring sounds and playing with water and sand. A huge thank you to Noel who created this wonderful space for us! We hope to have more classes engaging in outdoor play/learning in the coming weeks!

The girls and staff in St. Brigid's made a huge effort today as they dressed up in their Halloween costumes. From witches to vampires, ghosts to pumpkins, there were lots of spook characters around the school!! The girls thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor Halloween disco and had great fun dancing with their friends.

The winners of the Halloween art competition were also revealed today and they all received a little prize in return. It was a very hard decision to make as all entries were of a very high standard. Well done to everyone for participating!!

A massive congratulations to Susie McAdam in Ms. O' Donovan's 6th class who received a 'Special Merit Award' for her wonderful self portrait titled 'Me'. Susie is a very talented young artist who was selected from over 25,000 applicants. This is a reflection of her incredible ability and her emerging artistic talent. We are all very proud of Susie's achievement here in St. Brigid's.
