On 31st of May, girls from 4th, 5th and 6th class participated in Cumann na mBunscoil Athletics in Morton Stadium, Santry. The girls ran u/12 and u/14 in 100m sprints, 600m race and in the 4x100m relays. The girls all ran extremely well and really enjoyed the experience competing against other schools on a track. Hopefully they will get another chance to take part in a competition like this again soon. Well done to the whole team!

Active Week 2022 took place from the 24th-29th of April 2022. Our active week kicked off in St. Anne's Park where children and their families ran in the Junior Parkrun. Throughout the week all classes participated in a variety of taster sessions which included Yoga as Gaeilge, Ultimate Frisbee, Fencing, Tag-Rugby, Badminton, Dancing and Cricket. Whole school activities included Active Walkway activities, Orienteering, Skipathon and an Active Picnic. Each day an active challenge was sent to the whole school to try out for homework. We also had Wake Up Shake Ups where all parents and childminders were invited to participate in some dancing before the start of the day on the Monday and Friday. Many parents and grandparents also came into the school to teach playground games to classes, with some parents and grandparents even showing competing in a relay race which the children loved! The finale of our Active Week was a whole school event where all the finalists of the Skipathon had a "Skip Off." The teachers also challenged the Active Committee to a game of Dodgeball which was also lots of fun. The sun shone on St. Brigid's for the whole week and Active School Week 2022 was a great success!

On the 19th of May, we celebrated Outdoor Classroom Day. This is a global movement to inspire and celebrate outdoor play and learning. We recognise that time spent outdoors learning makes the children feel happier and healthier as well as helping to equip the children with skills that they need for life. We have recently purchased some new equipment for our out-door play area which the children are really enjoying. Many classes also used our basketball court for some more fun activities outdoors.

The girls in Mrs Delany’s Fifth Class continue to perfect their knitting skills. Over the past few weeks we have been busy knitting Easter chicks and bunnies. Being able to knit is a tricky skill to master and the girls are truly shining, no matter what level they are at. Well done, girls!
