Integrating music and art in the Junior classroom

In the Junior room they have been very busy making their very own musical instruments. They have recycled  old plastic bottles and turned them into something AMAZING!!! They filled the  bottles up with pasta and rice to make their own bottle unique. The first class personalised their own spoons and they turned out fantastic! Maybe brideswell will start their own junior         
Band?

INTERNET SAFETY WEEK 2017

This week is 'Internet Safety Week' and children across Ireland are learning to be safer online and how to protect themselves against cyber bullying. In class this week we spent time discussing ways to stay safe online and how we are all responsible for a safer internet.  We recommend that parents take the time to visit the website www.webwise.ie for more information on keeping children safe online. 

Thanks,

A visit from the author Gerry Boland

Today the author Gerry Boland came to our school to talk to us about his poems and stories. When he first came in he introduced himself and read us a few pages of one of his books called Marco Moves In. It was a very well written book. He then read two of his poems to us. Next we got to write our own poems using one of his poems to guide us. After that some people read out the poems they wrote. Finally we got to write any kind of poem we wanted with a bit of help from Gerry. Over all we had a great experience and learned a few tips on writing poems and stories.
