Ms. O’Sullivan’s Junior Infants teamed up with Ms. Buckley’s 3rd Class once again for some Maths Week fun! The children designed and built their own streets and towns before programming the Bee-Bots to travel along the roads. This was a fantastic way to develop problem-solving, sequencing, coding and teamwork skills. A big thank you to everyone who supports our School Lotto, which funded the purchase of our Bee-Bots!
Ms. O’Sullivan’s Junior Infants teamed up with Ms. Buckley’s 3rd Class today for some fun-filled Maths activities as part of Maths Week 2026! 🧮🎲The children had great fun playing Maths games on the iPads before heading outdoors to complete a Maths Trail around the school grounds. 🔍🍂It was lovely to see the older children helping and encouraging their younger buddies as they explored Maths together. Lots of teamwork, learning and fun! 💙👏#MathsWeek2026
