Welcome Back

Welcome to a new school year in St. Brendan’s Primary & Nursery.

We are very excited to welcome back the boys and girls, and are looking forward to meeting our new Primary 1 children.

Wednesday – P1, P2 & P3 should attend

Thursday – P1, P4, P5, P6 & P7 should attend

Friday – All children to attend

Nursery – Following on from the letters issued at the end of term, Nursery staff will be in touch on Tuesday 11th August (inservice day) to discuss their return to nursery.

Just a little reminder about the coloured zones which pupils should use when arriving and leaving school.

Nursery – Green zone (gate with ramp close to staff car park. Nursery will be allowed one adult per child to walk them to nursery entrance).

 

P1 & P2 – Yellow zone (top of stairs close to infant yard)

P3, P4 & P7 – Blue zone (Church car park gate)

 

P5 & P6 – Red zone (ramp in infant yard)

Parents will NOT be permitted in the school yard. School staff will be on hand to supervise and direct the children. ONLY nursery parents will be in the grounds to drop off and collect their child from nursery. If it is a particularly wet morning, pupils should enter through their zone where staff will direct them straight to their class.

The school bus will be met by a member of staff, who will direct/accompany the children to their coloured zone.

All classes will be accompanied by the class teacher to their coloured gate at the end of the school day. Primary 1 & 2 children will be handed over to their parent/carer at the yellow gate.

School will start at 8.55am for all pupils (with the exception of P1 on Wednesday) and finish at 3pm.

We appreciate that this is different from what we are used to, and hope that we can work together to adapt to our new routines and procedures.

Thank you for your co-operation,

The St. Brendan’s Team

  • 100m Spring
  • Egg & Spoon
  • 3 Legged Race
  • Obstacle Course
  • Welly Toss

As you complete each event, record your score on the attached score card or create your own, at the end of the events add up your score and NLActive Schools will post the scores need for each category – Gold, Silver & Bronze.
