On Thursday 28th September we all celebrated National Fitness Day! Students and teachers all wore their active gear and got to participate in a fun filled day full of extra P.E. and movement activities. We paired up together with Ms.Garrahy’s 2nd class for some fun and engaged in obstacle courses, dodge ball, running our running track and loads more! We were also very lucky to get taught some cool new yoga and mindfulness techniques from coach Una Curran. We then had Music on yard at lunch time to dance to and get some extra steps in. We finished off with some active homework. We all had a great day!

The girls in Bunscoil Bhride had great fun celebrating Active Schools Week 2023. They got to celebrate sports days, try their hand at tennis in the local tennis club, participate in a whole school disco etc..! We were blessed with the weather and had great fun all round. A big thanks to the Active Schools committee and to all the staff who helped to put it all together. We hope you enjoy some of pictures and videos down below.

Today we held our whole-school assembly to mark Catholic Schools’ Week and also to celebrate Lá Fhéile Bríde (St Brigid’s feast day on February 1st). St Brigid holds a special place in our school not only for being the patron Saint of Kildare but she is also where we get our school name ‘Bunscoil Bhríde’ from. At assembly we saw our senior girls enact the story of St. Brigid and her cloak and also heard poetry about St.Brigid weaving a cross by a dying chieftain’s bed. Classes throughout the school have been busy making St. Brigid’s crosses from rushes too! Gifts were presented to our sacred space including pictures of animals, symbols of nature and a fabulous St Brigid’s cloak sewn by our 5th and 6th class girls with Aideen Cross. To conclude our assembly the whole-school performed the song ‘We sing a song to Brigid’.
