Last Tuesday, March 15th, in every school across the country, students are celebrating Proclamation Day as part of the celebrations of the centenary of 1916. In St Peter’s, we had a very special ceremony, where every class was involved, finishing with the raising of the Irish flag that was presented late last year by the members of the Defence Forces. We also displayed artwork in the hall related to our projects on the Easter Rising. Our ceremony started with an introduction from our principal, Ms. Whyte. Next, Amber from 4th class, Finn and Chris from 5th class and Alex, Alana and Ryan...

Recently, we celebrated the 100th day of the school year in St. Peter’s and we had lots of events to mark the day!

We all had an amazing time at the First Lego League in Galway. It was such a wonderful experience and we were so grateful to The First Lego League, Debbie, Bernard and all of the volunteers from SAP who made it such a wonderful day. We presented our work to the judges and represented our school and Co. Wicklow with pride. Our team ‘Smash the Trash’ not only won medals but we also received a trophy for all our hard work. We are looking forward to next year already! Check out some pictures from the day:         We are so excited to be heading to Galway tomorrow morning.... 

Last week, Mr. Foley’s class went on a day trip to Dún Laoghaire!  Ben made a video on Animoto using all of the photos taken on the day. Would you like to see it? Well done Ben. 6th Class are very proud of you.  

Last month, 6th Class filmed with Swipe TV, RTÉ’s flagship television series for 7 – 12 year olds with Simon Mulcahy, Claire O’Reilly and Mebs the puppet.

Ms. Brennan was nominated and faced the gunge…did she escape? The show was aired on RTÉ yesterday, and the class and the two lads did so well! How did Ms. Brennan do?

The judge at the RDS Primary Science Fair made some lovely comments about the 6th Class project on robotics. Would you like to read his comments? ‘I knew nothing about robots or programming before coming to hear the students speak, but I certainly have learnt a lot now! A very ambitious project to get the class using programming software. I was incredibly impressed with the depth of knowledge and the understanding of how to manipulate the drag-block software and that a booklet summarising instructions for how to program the robot was produced as well. We had an amazing discussion about the...
