Genius Hour Projects

Some examples of our Genius Hour Projects. We have full autonomy on what we work on and how they are presented. We have learned a lot from each other thought these projects.

Pacóga

Rinneamar Pancóga don Lá na bPancóg. Bhí scríbhneoireacht Ghnásúil á dheanamh againn sa ranganna Gaeilge agus d’úsáideamar na comhábhaair chun pancóga a dheanah…..bhí siad go hálainn!!

Rugby Blitz

6th Class represented the school in a rugby blitz in Kilnaleck. We played against schools from the surrounding area and really enjoyed the day. Thank you to Jon, our coach, for organising the event.

Dáil Visit

We had an amazing experience in Leinster House today. Our guide was excellent and gave a very informative tour of the building and explained what happened in each room….if those walls could talk!! After a few interviews with local press, we took some time on the way home for lunch in the Phoenix Park, unfortunately the President wasn’t available for tea. A huge thank you to Minister Niamh Smyth for organising the day.

Poc Fada

Comhgairdeas do Niamh agus Cúan. Bhí an buadh acú sa chomortas Poc Fada.

Reactions Experiment

We put our reactions to the test with this experiment. Once the ruler dropped, we depended on our reaction speed to catch the ruler between our index finger an thumb. Thankfully we were all quick enough to catch the ruler before it was too late!

Lá Glas

Bhí an spórt go deo againn inniú le haghaidh Lá Glas. Bhaineamar a lán taitneamh as an “Aglaimh Beirte”. Míle buíochas do Mrs. White Lynch as ucht an damhsa “Mo Dróilín”

Visit to St. Oliver’s PP

Our class was treated to a fantastic day in St. Oliver’s PP. As most of our class will be attending here in the coming years, it was a great chance to get a taste for all the wonderful subjects the school has to offer. Although we will miss Mr. McHugh terribly, we can’t wait to move on to the next step on our educational journey.
