On Friday the 6th of March the girls in 1st class and 4th class got the opportunity to participate in a SEAI workshop where they explored the topic of energy and sustainability in a fun and engaging way. 1st class met GUZZLER the puppet who loves to waste energy. Through a series of games and activities the girls learned all about where our energy comes from. They also learned about the importance of saving energy and how we can make simple changes to help save our environment. 4th class learned all about energy too and the importance of conservation through carrying out a variety of experiments. The workshop focused primarily on: the principals of energy, the current global problems and what we can do to help and the science of energy and climate change. The girls really enjoyed the workshop and picked up a few practical tips that we can do in our school to save energy.

On Thursday the 5th of March, the girls in St. Brigid's celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as characters from their favourite books. There were some amazing costumes worn and many of the children even made their own costumes.  Some classes also brought in their favourite books to share with others. While some of the older classes joined the younger classes for some paired reading.  Other classes engaged in art activities and English lessons where they explored books further. It was a fun-filled day for all the classes.
