We all had an amazing time at the First Lego League in Galway. It was such a wonderful experience and we were so grateful to The First Lego League, Debbie, Bernard and all of the volunteers from SAP who made it such a wonderful day. We presented our work to the judges and represented our school and Co. Wicklow with pride. Our team ‘Smash the Trash’ not only won medals but we also received a trophy for all our hard work. We are looking forward to next year already! Check out some pictures from the day:         We are so excited to be heading to Galway tomorrow morning.... 

Junior Infants met some miniature horses. We learned how to brush a horse. We learned some safety rules around horses. The ladies were so very nice! Great brushing! Thanks for coming in to teach us about miniature horses!  

Last week, Mr. Foley’s class went on a day trip to Dún Laoghaire!  Ben made a video on Animoto using all of the photos taken on the day. Would you like to see it? Well done Ben. 6th Class are very proud of you.  

Last month, 6th Class filmed with Swipe TV, RTÉ’s flagship television series for 7 – 12 year olds with Simon Mulcahy, Claire O’Reilly and Mebs the puppet. We took part in the ‘Who Rules the School’ quiz, where the idea of the game if your team wins…the teacher gets gunged! Jack J and Jack B represented the class. Ms. Brennan was nominated and faced the gunge…did she escape? The show was aired on RTÉ yesterday, and the class and the two lads did so well! How did Ms. Brennan do?

The judge at the RDS Primary Science Fair made some lovely comments about the 6th Class project on robotics. Would you like to read his comments? ‘I knew nothing about robots or programming before coming to hear the students speak, but I certainly have learnt a lot now! A very ambitious project to get the class using programming software. I was incredibly impressed with the depth of knowledge and the understanding of how to manipulate the drag-block software and that a booklet summarising instructions for how to program the robot was produced as well. We had an amazing discussion about the...
