Lego
The sixth class have been busy working with Lego lately.
But not just any Lego! They have been working with Lego We Do which is a coding programme.
Their first day with the kits saw them design various Lego kits and present them to the class, utlising different sensors such as motion sensors and tilt sensors.
Their last instruction was to design a racecar to enter into a race! The car had to start when it sensed the blockade in front of it being removed and then stop if it sensed any obstacle in its path. This involved first designing the racecars, then coding it!
Look at the fun we had!
Beebots
The sixth class have been working with the Senior Infants from Miss Judge's class recently.
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.
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!
Well done to all the Senior Infants on their terrific coding and well done to the sixth class on their teaching skills!
We look forward to seeing the Senior Infants use their coding skiils in the future!!

Scientists Secure Best Visual Display
Well done to our four Mini Scientists who won an award at the Grand Final of the Intel Mini Scientists!
To get to the final yesterday was a huge achievement. 8,000 students in 135 schools throughout the country took part in the Intel Mini Scientist competition this year. Only 28 projects made it to the final, incorporating 100 students.
The girls displayed their projects among the other 27 and explained it impeccably to all visitors and judges. In what was a tiring day, the girls really did their school proud!
Afterwards, the winners were called out at an awards ceremony. Imagine their delight when they were announced as the Best Visual Display of the entire competition!
Well done to all the girls on what was a tremendous achievement! Thanks also to all the parents, especially Janet who gave great assistance to the girls throughout the last few months.
Well done Anna, Ellen, Meadhbh and Shannon!
Oliver! Success
Our third and fifth classes put on their production of Oliver on Thursday, 1st February in Mullingar Arts Centre.
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!
Well done to all involved!
Finally, we have some footage of one of the songs - enjoy as Ronan shows us his glorious singing voice!
