December 2024 - Joe Jordan - BMX Champ!

Hi! My name is Joe Jordan and I am in Mr Mulvany’s 6th class. This year, I competed in the BMX Irish National Series Competition. BMX is a sport where you ride a bike over a series of big and difficult jumps. It is great fun and exciting to do. This year I came first in Ireland in the BMX Irish National Series for my age group (11-12 years). I earned a total of 465 points in the competitions I took part in throughout the year across Ireland to take the win. I rode really well this year.

October 2024 - Coding with MS Dream Space

On Friday 18th of October, Ms. Campion’s class took part in Microsoft’s Dream Space:LIVE as part of Maths Week. We learned how Maths can lead to cool careers such as gaming or being a data analyst. We took part in a Mathathon and learned some coding. Lorraine and Michael showed us to use micro:bit; sequencing blocks to create codes. Here we are pictured with the coding we worked on using our iPads on Microsoft’s micro:bit. Thank you to Dream Space Dublin for hosting such a fun event! #IUseMaths

September 2024 - Ms Courtney’s Lighthouses

In Ms Courtney’s 6th class, we have been learning all about the Irish coast and also about circuits from our visit from MSD.

We created lighthouses based on famous Irish lighthouse designs and constructed circuits using copper conductors, coin batteries and LED bulbs.

September 2024 - MSD Visit 6th Class

Thank you so much to all the volunteers from MSD who came into the school to teach us about non-Newtonian liquids and engineering challenges.

We learnt a lot and had a real laugh!
