Ms. Concannon's and Ms.Delany's 4th class girls had so much fun with the WeDo Lego kits recently. WeDo introduces technology and programming control using robotics. It enables pupils to learn by constructing their own models and bringing them to life. WeDo also improves communication, collaboration and team-building skills. It helps teach how technology plays an active and informative role in the pupils’ learning and links in with literacy, science, maths, technology and engineering.

Lots of our classes took part in Lego education and had lot's of fun carrying out experiments using constructed pieces of Lego e.g skyscrapers.

Senior Infants were very busy over the past few weeks in Aistear exploring the theme of the Post Office. Some of the activities they engaged in included: role play in a fictional Post Office, construction of small towns for the postman, post-office bingo, designing stamps, writing letters and creating postcards. They also learned about the journey of a letter and some poems and songs relating to the theme. They had lots of fun doing these activities.
