Today was a very important day for St. Peter’s. The Irish Defence Forces delivered the Irish Flag and the 1916 Rising Proclamation to our school. This was to mark the Centennium of the 1916 Rising next year! We learned how to take care of the Irish flag and we also got the opportunity to ask the Defence Force questions about the 1916 Rising. Two children from 6th class did the school very proud today! They stood up on stage and read from the Proclamation and also told a personal story about their connection to the 1916 Rising. As a school, we then came together and sang Amhrán na bhFiann. It... 

Hi everyone! We had a lovely, busy week in 6th Class. Want to see our round-up of what we got up to? Our Student of the Week came as no surprise… she gave 100% to everything, had wonderful homework and so many people noticed how helpful she was. Great job! Our #6thClass Student of the Week! She is a winner for keeping an exceptional copybook and being so helpful. pic.twitter.com/4chitvQTAt — St. Peter’s Primary (@StPetersBray) November 13, 2015 We continued our great work with our ePortfolios.

We were all very excited that Lego Club started back this week! This year we are taking part in an international competition called the First Lego League. As part of the competition we will be looking at three different things – A Trash Trek Project, A Robot Game and The First Lego League Core Values. This week we started building our models that will be used for our robot game. We worked in teams to make Models no. 1, 2, 3 and 4 using the instructions on the laptops. Next week we will continue making the rest of the models. We also hope to have our new Lego table made, set up for next week’s...

Have you met our #studentcouncil? We work for all of the students in our school! We meet every fortnight. pic.twitter.com/9nHzwo6a1P — St. Peter’s Primary (@StPetersBray) October 5, 2015 Congratulations to our new Student Council for this term. We are very proud of you and know that you will do very well. Here are your new council. Listen to their very first podcast here!  

What a great week we had in 6th Class last week. Just like 1st and 5th Class, we had an inspector come to visit us to check in on our work! He was pleased with us and really liked our English stations. We were delighted, but we now have to keep it up for the rest of the year. One of the coolest things we did was our chalk drawings out on yard. It was so much fun! We had to create a ‘picture’ and then become part of it ourselves! We got the idea from Pinterest. We love getting art ideas from that site! We also got an exciting (and very cute!) package from ClassDojo! Thank you so much...
