We at Scoil Chaitríona Junior have achieved our 15th consecutive
Science Foundation Ireland Discover Science and Maths Award
and are one of the first schools in Ireland to receive the brand new
Badge Of Excellence in STEM Awareness
Well done to all our pupils, our teachers, staff, and parents for the wonderful participation and support!
We are so proud!!!
We programmed our Wonder Dots with our iPads today. We are so fond of our Dots and we LOVE CODING!
It is Tech Week 2019
We used our Bee Bots at 10 different work stations.
We really are experts in Bee Bots now!
Here’s our class at our Bee Bot work stations:
and working with Wonder Dots and iPads:
We use the second class iPads and our Wonder dots to programme our dots to interact with us.
We are just learning how to do this, but we are really enjoying it.
We love coding, we love technology!
Junior First Lego league is nearly upon us again . This year’s theme is Mission moon and our team name is Master Moon Makers. We are very busy building a moon base with a moving part .
We really enjoy construction and coding with our LEGO WeDo kits and our iPads.
We will try out a few tutorials and then we will design, make and programme our own creations.
We really enjoyed EU Code Week 2018.
We tried some coding every day, and invited other classes to join us..
We even tried coding at home too.
Computer programming is fun!

In our school, Room 9 will take part in EU Code Week.
Our aim is to run introductory workshops in coding each day in our class during the week.
We hope to try Scratch, Hour of Code, Lego Robotics, Bee Bots and Wonder Dots.
We are running these workshops with the support of Science on Stage.
Our special thanks goes to SAP for the wonderful Scratch workshop for all our 2nd classes, and to Galway Education Centre for the loan of the laptops for the Scratch workshops.
