LOVING LIMERICK TLC4
 We recently enjoyed decorating large hearts with a variety of recyclables as all classrooms participated in  TLC4's Loving Limerick Valentines competition. All entries were displayed in the Hunt Museum, Limerick.
We have registered to be part of the TLC4 Clean-Up to take place on Good Friday, 30th March. Why not join us as we clean up the Cloverfield and Dromkeen areas?

​
VEX ROBOTICS
Senior room pupils from 4th, 5th and 6th classes greatly enjoyed participating in this year's Vex Robotics programme. The programme, which involved the building of a robot as well as learning how to drive and programme it, learning about STEM and robotics, researching a specific area of robotics, and design work, challenged the pupils in many ways over the past number of months. The pupils worked brilliantly together and prepared for the Regional Finals which were held in Dell, Limerick, on February 1st. At the finals the driving teams completed driving tasks both individually and with other schools' teams while other pupils set up the display area and were interviewed by the adjudicators. Yet another group made a STEM presentation on our chosen topic which was "Robotics in Dairy Farming: AMSs" and the programming team put their programmes to the test in the arena. All did very well and looked great in the T-shirts which they had designed, bearing the name of our robot "Clobot". Many thanks to all who made contributions towards purchase of the T-shirts for the class and to parent Glenn Flanagan, Dell, who was our link with Dell throughout the implementation of this new and innovative programme. We look forward to being part of VEX Robotics again next year. Well done all!
