Learning, Striving, Achieving Together
Mr. O’Donoghue’s 4th class have been working with the WeDo 2.0 Lego Science materials over the last few weeks as part of their STEM block. They have been working on guided and open projects involving building, using sensors, programming etc.
Take a look at their work in the video below.
Third class set off on a Canal Trip last Friday as part of our local history week. They walked to Castleknock Train station and boarded the train for Clonsilla. They then walked back along the canal to the 12th lock where they had a picnic lunch .

The children in 3rd class have been working with coding activities using studiocode.org in recent weeks.
The activities have included learning to drag and drop, creating a maze, debugging, sequencing activities, creating loops, creating stories etc. All activities are pair programming activities which encourage the children to communicate, collaborate and problem solve together.
Take a look at some photos of the children from Ms. Brosnan’s class at work.

4th classes were out and about in Castleknock again today , when they visited the Dunsink Observatory. They listened to Sam, explain all about asteroids and meteors and then visited the Grubb Telescope
Last Friday, the 4th classes visited Castleknock College as part of our Local History Week. They were guided by Mr. Gerry Davis who is the school administrator and grandfather of Keelin Davis, in 3rd class. It was a really informative tour and everyone really enjoyed it.
We were delighted to learn today that Cameron Jackson has done St Brigid’s proud in the All Ireland Schools Irish Nationals.
For the under 9 category, each child entered two strokes..all the training, hard work and passion paid off in the end and he won the silver in 50mtr freestyle & bronze in the backstroke. We couldn’t be prouder!
Cameron Jackson who is in 3rd class is representing St Brigids in the Irish national swimming schools finals on Sunday. Unfortunately he was the only qualifier from St. Brigids at Leinster qualifiers in Oct. All the top underage swimmers in Ireland compete in this tournament & qualifying for it is an achievement in itself. He will be racing in the 50 meter freestyle & back crawl. His Dad says he has been absolutely flying in training & he has a really good chance in qualifying out of his heat into the final 10 in both disciplines. The competition including heats & finals are on in NAC on this Sunday. We all wish him well and hope he has a great tournament.
The children in Ms. O’Halloran’s 3rd class have been learning to knit with the help of their teacher and some parents and grandparents who come in to help.
Take a look at some photos of them all at work.
