The LEGO City directions booklet is a great way to follow instructions step by step. It helps us to organise our work and complete a task in a set time!

HI!

Over the past few weeks the After School Computer Club members have been designing and programming virtual fidget spinners using SCRATCH! Here is one design that has been uploaded to the SCRATCH website.

On the 10^th of February the debating team (Orla, Sophie, Gillian, Conor, Ailbhe and Bernard) went to Maynooth University to watch the debating final. When we first arrived the hall was not available so we got a tour of the university first. After about half an hour we went to the Aula Maxima where the debating would commence.

The first debate was the plate final. The topic was ‘Should child labour be a necessity in developing countries’. The opposing team won this debate. The second debate was the cup final also on this topic. The proposing team won this debate. It was a very tight debate and both the teams had brilliant points. After the debate we were presented a certificate for our school and individually.

It was a great day and a good learning experience for the whole team!

Our cross country teams made school history at the County Kildare Cross Country Championship on 6^th April when they took home their first ever team medals at this event.

The boys race was first and two teams represented the school against over 150 boys from across the county. They all ran a fantastic race. The boys ‘A’ team came first overall and got our first ever cup in this event.

The girls race was up next and they ran against over 150 girls in a very competitive race. They did great as well with the girls ‘A’ team coming in second place overall. 3 of our girls even came in the top ten!

Well done to all of the boys and girls who took part, as well as those who were injured and who trained for the event but weren’t there on the day. St. Laurence’s Abú!
