With Christmas fast approaching, our classroom has started to look a little like a Winter Wonderland. We shall be adding to our winter themed art over the next few weeks, so watch this space! 

YAY!!!!!!!!!!
We have finished our project books and they are on their way to the STEPS Engineering Team to be judged.  
Well done to all the boys and girls who worked so hard on their projects.  They are absolutely brilliant and each one of them  is a winner in my eyes! 

We have finally finished our designs and tested our prototypes.  Have a look at all our hard work in our presentations about each of our ideas. 

On Wednesday of last week, we were very excited to have the opportunity to chat to real life engineer and ask him some questions.  Our engineer that was assigned to us, was Matthew a masters student in UCD, studying civil engineering.  Matthew chatted to us about his work, designs and job.  The children had some really good questions for Matthew at the end and were thrilled with his feedback on our prototypes.  He said he was blown away by the designs, coding and detailed planning that the children had put into their prototypes. 

!For the past few weeks we have been busy planning, collaborating, designing, making and building our prototypes, for our STEPS engineering projects.  Have a look at us at work!

Over the past few weeks, 3rd and 4th class have been busy participating in the STEPS young engineers award programme. 

The Engineers Ireland STEPS Programme is a non-profit outreach programme that promotes interest and awareness of engineering as a future career. The STEPS Young Engineers Award 2020 is a competition that asks 3rd and 4th class students all over the country to design an engineering project that would help their community.

We look forward to sharing our ideas and designs over the coming weeks.

Well done to the boys and girls in 3rd class who made their first Holy Communion on Saturday last,  October 3rd 2020.  A big thank you to our principal, Ms O'Neill, Ms Walsh and Ms Nannery, who helped in their preparation,   Ms Fitzpatrick and Fr Sean who made the day so special. 

A massive Welcome back to all the boys and girls in 3rd and 4th class. We have settled back into school brilliantly and adapted to all the new changes.

3rd class are busy getting ready for their communion and shall be looking forward to sharing some of our Art work soon.

We were delighted to see Lacken Ladies win the county senior championship and here we are out showing our support for them!

​

We are already looking forward to the rest of the year.

We were very excited this week to hold a series of Virtual Sports days.  There were even some suprise messages and challenges from some famous faces along the way.  Well done to all the boys and girls who sent in some pictures and videos of them and their families partaking in our sports challenges.
