The girls from Ms Nagle's and Ms Kenny's 6th classes have been learning about China this month. They have been creating their own projects on 'Modern China' and learning about the customs of the Ancient Chinese people. What better way to finish off their month of learning than by celebrating the Chinese New Year! The girls dressed up and watched Noel do a wonderful cooking demonstration in the staff room on Thursday the 23rd of January and then feasted on curries, noodles and rice in their classrooms. 

They thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Chinese New Year

Saturday 25th January 2020

The date for the Chinese New Year varies each year. The Chinese lunar calendar is associated with the Chinese zodiac, which has 12 animal signs: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, Rooster, dog, and pig. Each animal represents a year in a 12-year cycle, beginning on Chinese New Year's Day. 

2020 is the Year of the Rat.

All the classes have been very busy creating beautiful art pieces for the Christmas Art competition in the school. It was very hard to pick winners as the standard was very high. Well done to all who took part. A special thank you to Ms. McDonald for organising it.

On Wednesday the 18th of December we had a very special visitor here in St. Brigid's ...SANTA CLAUS!! He popped into each class to have a little chat with the girls and to see all their hard work. He even brought some of his helpers along. The girls were very excited and sang a few Christmas songs for them.

The Parents Association also held the Christmas Raffle in the school that day. There were lots of great prizes up for grabs!! It was a fantastic day over all.

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.

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.
