Year 1

Junior and Senior Infants love to create, learn, play and have fun with Lego Duplo and Knex.

First Class made Milo the Robot with Lego WeDo

Then we programmed him to move.

Numeracy and Literacy is so much more fun since the Beebots arrived.

5th & 6th Class made their own Vex Robot and participated in the Vex Robotics Competition in the Institute of Technology, Tralee.

For Engineer's Week, we invited an Engineer in to explain what an engineer does.

One of our parents is both a software and a mechanical engineer. He has his own engineering company where his team builds bomb disposal robots. He brought in one of his robots called 'Reacher' and explained how it is built. Some lucky children even got the chance to drive the robot.

We showed him our robot and challenged him to a robot race!

​Guess which one won!
