Scratch
The children in First and Second class enjoyed coding with Scratch this week.
Scratch is an excellent, engaging and fun environment for learning some fairly advanced mathematical concepts and the basics of computer science too. Scratch is deceptively simple with its palette of brightly coloured blocks. The thing about Scratch programming though is that you can do amazing things when you combine the blocks in interesting ways. As children progress they are able to use Scratch in more and more advanced ways. Scratch has a low floor, but a high ceiling.
Scratch programming allows children to use computers to express their creative ideas and solve practical problems and empowers children to be digital makers not just digital users. Scratch is free to download here https://scratch.mit.edu/download

Egg Hunt
It looks like The Easter Bunny paid an early visit to Togher N.S. The children had great fun searching for their early Easter treats.
GAA football
It was the last day of term and the sun was shining so it was down to the sports pitch for some GAA football. The children are really looking forward to the Sciath na Scol tournament which will be held after the Easter holidays.
Past Pupil Luka
We were delighted to welcome our past-pupil Luka, during a quick visit, on Friday. It’s always great to catch up with our past pupils. Thanks for the visit Luka.
Easter Cards
The children were busy on the last day of the term making these wonderful Easter Cards.
Confirmation
Children in the 5th and 6th classes have been busy preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We would like to wish them the very best tomorrow. The children in Togher N.S. enjoyed this delicious cake to celebrate.
Build a Vehicle Challenge
The children in the Senior Room were given the challenge of constructing a model vehicle capable of being propelled. It was fascinating to see the wide variety of shapes, sizes and fabrication techniques that the children used to create their models. The children demonstrated their models and discussed their fabrication techniques with the younger children.
