Welcome

 

As the Principal of St Brigid’s Primary School, I extend to you a very warm welcome to our website.  Through this we aim to give you a flavour of some of the school events, visitors and experiences offered to our children.

St Brigid’s is a Catholic maintained, co-educational primary school, where the children are at the heart of every decision we make and everything we do. We value the great relationships that we have formed with our parents and acknowledge the dedicated work and commitment of the Staff, Governors and Parents Association.

We enjoy a warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and it is this distinctive ethos which enables the children to flourish and succeed giving them the skills, attitudes and desire to achieve their full potential. 

I hope that you find our website informative and interesting and gain some insight into how we fulfil our school motto: 'Learning and Growing Together'.  If you would like to see our school and experience our ethos I would be delighted to meet with you.

Thank you for visiting our website.

Kind regards

Dolores Miller

Principal

🐦‍⬛🌱🌼 Primary 1 and 7 Buddy Time 🌼 🌱🐦‍⬛ On Friday Primary 7 and Primary 1 enjoyed some well deserved Buddy Time! The children were extremely busy crafting special scarecrows in preparation for creating bird seed patterns. The children had a great time marking the first day of Spring together!
⭐️✍️Poetry Competition Success ✍️ ⭐ Our Primary 6 and 7 pupils recently entered a Poetry Competition run by the Seamus Heaney Homeplace. Taking inspiration from Springtime and the Seamus Heaney poem ‘Death of A Naturalist’, we were incredibly impressed by the talent our young writers exhibited in their entries. Today we received the fantastic news that our Primary 7 pupil Grace was awarded third place out of all entries considered from across the North of Ireland! What a fantastic achievement, we are so very proud of you!
Our digital leaders had an amazing time diving into the world of coding at SERC Downpatrick Bring I.T. on programme! They tackled a binary lock box challenge, cracked codes in a cypher escape room, and even engineered winning robots in a Lego Spike Hooper race. A huge thank you to SERC Downpatrick for the fantastic invitation and for inspiring our future tech wizards!
Today in Primary Five, we took part in a carousel of Fractions and Capacity activities: 🔢-We worked on adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator, which helped us sharpen our skills. 💧-We explored the relationship between millilitres and litres, learning how different amounts of liquid relate to each other. ⚖️-Finally, we balanced various amounts of water in containers using a pivot. We all had so much fun while learning and working together!🤩
A wee reminder that our Well-being Champions are hosting a Well-being Wednesday coffee morning this morning. Come and join us in the hall 8.45-9.15. We will have some Irish dancing and some of our children who participated in a recent Feis an Dúin competition, will be reciting their poems in Irish!
