Well done to everyone that participated in Safer Internet Day. Have a look below at all our work, our selfies and our poster competitions. Congratulations to all. The comments on the blog last week were amazing, with fantastic tips on staying safe online. A whopping 96 comments. Be Safe and remember the three steps for online bullying. Tell someone. Ignore them. Block them. #Up2Us Congratulations to Harriett Kenny (3rd Class). Harriett entered a poetry competition in the Folens Christmas Annual and came 2nd. She won a voucher for Smyths toy store. Have a read of her poem below and tell us what you think. Congratulations Harriett!!
Little Helper The moon was gleaming bright and clear, like it did every year. I especially loved the sight, since it was Christmas night. But I couldn't go to sleep, so like Bo Peep I counted sheep. When I finally dozed off, I dreamt of all the toys for the little girls and boys. I had to make them all myself for I am a Christmas Scout elf. Harriett Kenny Multicultural Week will run from Monday to Friday (13th-17th) next week with lots of exciting activities planned. We have children and parents from over 27 countries in our school. Each class has been allocated a country to learn about and explore.
Some of the St. Brigid's 6th class girls will be running the Great Ireland Junior Run on April 9th next in the Phoenix Park. Today we welcomed the RTE News Today film crew and the run race director to our school where they were delighted to observe and interview some of these girls. Despite it being a cold day, the girls had great fun running and answering a few questions. We look forward to a great day of running and participation in April, when hopefully the temperature will be a little kinder to us. Well done St. Brigid's! During February we will be thinking about the value of 'Peace'. We kicked off the month on Monday with Ms Burke's peaceful values assembly, where we all practised some heartful meditation, listened to stories and quotes and sang the song 'A Little Peace'. The related values that we will be focusing on each week this month are being calm, self-discipline and mindfulness.
Last month our values focus was on 'Non-Violence'. The related weekly values were forgiveness, concern for others and care for the environment. As always, there were lots of interesting and creative activities going on around the school. Take a look at some of the goings-on in our January recap on 'Non-Violence'... :o) Click on the picture below to explore how you can show your support on Internet Safety Day. #Up2Us Comment below and tell us how you can stay safe when using the computer, laptop, phone or iPAD.
