1C GOES GREEN
This week for GREEN SCHOOLS WEEK, 1C took part in lots of different activities, with the main aim to understand how we can make choices that can help the environment. The first activity we did was learn about the different types of bins there and what goes into what bin. We then tested our knowledge of this with a really fun game online
https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/games/action-adventure/article/recycle-roundup-new
After the game, we spoke about pollution and things we do in our local area that may be bad for the environment, we read a wonderful book called "We want our park back" and discussed how making little changes can make a big difference.
Our final project was a big one! For the past 10 days we have been collecting all our lunch bags in school and today we painted them blue and yellow and to end the week we will make a big collage of the Scoil Ber crest using our own rubbish.
Thanks Mr Byrne and the Green School Committee for facilitating this
Scoil Bernadette meets David Walliams
Both 1st year classes took part in a live zoom call with David Walliams this week. They laughed so hard I thought we might need to call the nurse! All pupils loved his books and we will be reading them in class going forward :)
Thanks David for visiting us and bringing so much joy to our class.
A huge big Scoil Bernadette Welcome to our new first years who joined us this month.

They have made brown bread and flapjacks with Ms Casserly in Home Economics and learning all about our brains in Science with Ms O Connor.

Mrs Power and Ms Kelly
September 2021
Back in school
Now that we are back in school full time we were able to do lots of team building activities and learning away from the computer with our friends.
In English we did a movie study on WONDER. It is an amazing movie about choosing to be kind to people and how we should not judge a book by its cover. We also started a book called Noughts Forever by Malorie Blackman. It's about gangs and it is very good.
In Irish Culture we have studied THE RIVERDANCE - Their legs move very very fast says Harry who loved the show.
In SPHE we learnt about how we are connected in our class and how we have something in common with everyone. This was like a spiders web and great fun - Julie
Online learning 2021
As we return back to school fully on Monday 1st March, Mrs. Powers class spent some time reflecting on what they learnt during these strange time.
Divine - Loved the Friday activities - "The disco was great fun"
Kasey - "I really liked the 10.30am catch up with the class. We played scavenger hunts, show & tell, Bingo and had some really funny discussions like What would be your superpower or would you prefer to work indoors or outdoors :)"
The pictures below are
Siun - "I liked baking and here is my Penguin chocolate cake"
Caoimhe - Mrs. Power asked us to make some crosses using anything at home for St Bridgids Day. I used green paper to make it. It was fun
Julie - "We learnt about Fire safety in SPHE. I checked all our alarms. They were all working"
Kian - I helped my Dad with some plastering. I loved it and I liked telling my class what I did. It was hard but fun.
