STEM Building a Bridge.
Official opening of the Rose Kennedy Fitzgerald Bridge
The children from 5th and 6th class were lucky enough to have been invited as special guests of the Wexford and Kilkenny County Councils to the official opening of the Rose Kennedy Fitzgerald Bridge on Wednesday 29th January 2020. This was a great experience to be part of, getting to see the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar up close. We also got the opportunity to walk across the bridge. It will great for children to be able to say in years to come that they were there the day the bridge opened!
Our Shadow Puppet Show!
The 5th and 6th Class pupils put on a series of short shadow puppet plays for the children in the Junior Room. The children composed their scripts themselves in small groups of two/ three. Each story had a simple moral – a life lesson that the Infants and 1st Class could learn from. These moral lessons were demonstrated through the characters in each story presented.
