St. Brendan's Primary School and Nursery

Let us introduce ourselves, we are Erin & Nathan the Junior Road Safety Officers of St Brendan’s Primary School and we help to promote road safety in the school.

We would like to address the parking outside the school. We ask that you DO NOT park on the yellow lines because it is a danger to all of the children in the school. We do encourage that you and your child walk to and from school, however, if you need to take your car we have been given permission by Father Brown to use the church car park.

The police have already visited the school several times to highlight the dangers of parking directly outside the school and to remind people to think about the safety of the children.

DO NOT:

Park on or opposite the zigzags – a clear road is safer to cross

Park on pavements – children are trying to walk there!

Block driveways – don’t be lazy – park somewhere else!

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

From the JRSO’s Erin & Nathan.

Primary 7/6 have all been working exceptionally hard this term on all aspects of the curriculum. The children have been busy learning about Climate Change and exploring the impact our actions are having on our beautiful planet. The children have identified key countries impacting positively and negatively on the planet through their use of Greenhouse Gases. The have also explored the impact Global Warming is having around the world and examined current topical issues such as Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey. Have a look at our pictures to see all our hard work in action!

Update from P1C and P1S

We are so proud of our new Primary 1’s, they have settled very well into school life and are working hard in all areas of the curriculum.

We have been learning about People in our Community through our IDL topic. The children have been developing various skills during our purposeful play activities. As well as reinforcing their new skills we have also been learning about the different jobs people have and how they can help us. We have been researching various jobs including; doctor, dentist, postal worker, firefighter and lollipop person. Some of the fundamental skills we have been learning during our topic are; working as a team in the construction area, taking on the role of different characters in our doctors surgery and post office, and letter formation and drawing in the writing area.

We hope Primary 1 have enjoyed their first term at St. Brendan’s as much as we have!
