The girls in Ms. Concannon's 4th class had a great day out visiting URF Academy Riot Games at The Observatory on Sir John Rogerson's Quay. The girls got to experience what it was like to work in the games industry. They participated in fun filled, casual, games based learning sessions with Rioters (Riot Games employees). They learned all about game development and what it takes to create a well balanced, fun yet challenging game. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. Each girl received a goodie bag on the day and got a special tour of the office.

On Tuesday 10th of December Ms. Flynn's 3rd class took part in an electricity workshop organised by ESB. The girls had a great time making Scribblebots and they even got to take home their creations at the end of the day! The girls learnt about the work of the ESB and where we get our electricity from. The workshop was very hands on and engaging. Children made electric circuits using batteries, wires and a motor. These were attached to a paper cup with markers. The motor caused the Scribblebots to vibrate which created interesting drawings on a page. At the end the children decorated their Scribblebots. The following week the children wrote an explanation text about how the Scribblebots work. It certainly was a fun way to learn about electric circuits. Many thanks to the ESB team who organised the workshop.

Our choir performed some festive favourites, songs from movies and traditional Christmas songs at out annual Carol service held in St. Brigid's Church on Tuesday the 17th of December. It was a wonderful evening where the school community came together to listen to the girls sing while also getting the opportunity to take some timeout from the busy lead up to Christmas. Special mention to Ms. Flynn and Ms. Nagle for all their hard work preparing the choir for the service.

We had a special treat on Friday the 13th of December when the Sam Maguire Cup came to visit us in St. Brigid's! This is our sixth visit from Sam but the excitement among the pupils and staff had no way diminished this time round. The girls got lots of pictures taken with the cup. Hopefully it will be back again next year...Up the Dubs!
