Outdoor Learning in St. Brendan’s

The children of St. Brendan’s have been involved in some taster sessions of Outdoor Learning experiences . This takes place in all types of weather, clothing provided. Outdoor Learning is currently a priority in our School and Nursery Improvement Plan and will be developed over the next 3 years.
Many of the children of St. Brendan’s have enjoyed exploring their school grounds as well as Baron’s Haugh, which we are lucky to have on our doorstep.
We will be developing our outdoor area in many ways including the creation of a Sensory Garden linking with our Golden Jubilee. We will also develop the grounds around the school. Children will be involved in the development of these grounds and pupil voice is paramount.
In the photographs you will see how many of our children have been involved in Responsive Outdoor Learning over the past few weeks.

Stay tuned for more updates on our St. Brendan’s Outdoor Learning experiences.

Term 3 in Primary 5/4 and Primary 5

This term Primary 5/4 and Primary 5 have both been very busy learning all about Ancient Egypt. We been locating Egypt on a map and identify key locations and historical sites of interest. The children have also thoroughly enjoyed examining the River Nile and its importance to both Ancient Egypt and present day Egypt and learning about the process of mummification. Some children have already completed some fantastic mummy designs of their own at home. We look forward to being invaded by many more!

Over the past few week the children have applied their knowledge and skills to design and complete a piece of Egyptian jewellery. This was not only great fun but also allowed the children to be expressive and creative. We hope you enjoy looking at our wonderful pictures below.

Term 3 in Primary 3

This term, Primary 3 have been very busy preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We are learning so much as we continue on our Sacramental Journey and are working hard in class and at home to make sure that we are ready for this special occasion on the 17th of March. Recently, we attended our very own Reconciliation retreat with Father Brown. As you can see, this was a very special occasion enjoyed by all. This week, we have been exploring the story of ‘The Good Shepherd’. We know that Jesus is like the Good Shepherd, as when we stray from him he is always looking for us to come back to him by saying sorry and is happy when we do. Below are some pictures of us completing different activities to explore the story of ‘The Good Shepherd’ in class. We hope that you will continue to pray for us at this special time.
