Lego Project!

5th class are making another lego project this year. This year we are making a fair ground. Last year we made things from our novel "Tom Crean,Ice Man". It was great fun last year and we were so happy when we found out we would get to have the experience again. Now this year we are more in control of the project because last year was our first year and we weren't sure what to do. This year the class is split up into groups and every week every group moves on to a different activity. Miss O' Donovan, Miss Nolan and Miss Lynch organize this and the class appreciates all thier hard work. All the groups have different activities and they are all lots of fun. All the groups have different names so its easier to remember where everyone is. For this project we do knex, lego, art and the blogs. Everyone who works at this project does really hard work. Here is a picture of us doing our blog.....

Once the class had lots of ideas they got into pairs and started to sketch out drawings of models they could make for the project.

The girls have done lots of work on the project so far. First of all the whole class brainstormed ideas on the interactive whiteboard. Then the girls divided into groups and one group worked on starting the blog in the computer room.
