St. Brigid's Cross

-

Yesterday in school we learned about Saint Brigid. We watched a video about her and what she did for the poor. We were reminded of the her story and how she became a nun and how her cloak covered the field giving her enough land to build her church. 


Today we made crosses out of rushes for Saint Brigid's day. St. Brigid used the cross to teach a pagan chieftain in Kildare the meaning of the cross. The chieftain asked to be baptised before he died. We watched a video to learn how to make them. We all really enjoyed making saint bridgids crosses for Saint Bridgid’s Day!


Our crosses will hang above our doors to bless our bring St. Brigid’s blessing and protection into our homes.

Senior G.A.A.  Both our girls and boys senior teams were competing in Cumann na mBunscoil gaelic football since Easter. Both teams played three tight matches which ended today. The girls were very unfortunate to lose by 2 points in their last match against Scoil Choca Naofa while the boys lost by 2 after extra time. This double header will surely be core memories for the 6th class pupils involved. It is so great to see them giving their all in the Straffan NS jersey and we strongly encourage them to continue representing their future schools as well. Such great talent amongst the group.
