Thank you to the Parents Association!

A big thank you to Greg Ashe who presented Mrs. Griffin with STEM resources (Beebots and WeDo Lego) on behalf of the Parents Association today. The Parents Association collected funds by organising the creating and selling of Christmas cards in our school. A big thank you to all of the parents who contributed to this worthy cause. We look forward to investigating and exploring our new resources. Let the fun begin!

Junior Entrepreneur

We are now into week five of the programme. The boys and girls in fifth class have learned about famous Irish Entrepreneurs, characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, identified personal strengths, identified peers’ strengths and much more. They have also had an opportunity to develop research skills using laptops and tablets. This week, the boys and girls are beginning to think about potential products that could be developed for future selling.
