Beebots

The sixth class have been working with the Senior Infants from Miss Judge's class recently.

Beebot1

They have been showing them how to use Beebots, both the actual bots and, once they were familiar with the bots, then the app on the iPads.

Beebot2

The Senior Infants were very quick to learn how to code the Beebots to draw out figures, get through mazes, do addition and subtraction sums among other activities!

Beebot3

Well done to all the Senior Infants on their terrific coding and well done to the sixth class on their teaching skills!

Beebot4

We look forward to seeing the Senior Infants use their coding skiils in the future!!

And what a treat they gave us!

In what was a superb production, we heard great songs, saw great acting performances, admired the costumes, the sets, the great work and preparation that had clearly gone into all the production and stood and clapped until our hands were sore!

The songs and perfomances will live long in the memory. Well done to all who were involved from Lorcán and his helpers to Miss O'Donnell and Mr. Conneely. And that's not without forgetting the children, all of whom were superb on the night!
