The girls in Ms.McKenna's 3rd class visited our local Super Valu in Killester this morning. They learned about the importance of nutrition, eating a balanced diet and living a healthy lifestyle. The girls were guided through the bakery and the fresh food produce and lots more. They got to sample some healthy foods too and were also very grateful to have received a goody bag full of healthy pieces!

Coding/Lego in 4th class
The children in 4th class had great fun using lego WeDo construction sets and laptops to programme a crocodile to open and close its mouth. The girls learned lots about following instructions and how coding works. They worked in groups and were challenged to complete the task set. They used motors and sensors to move their creation. It was a big hit in the classes and immensely enjoyed by all!
