How to Catch a Leprechaun!

To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge and St. Patrick's Day the children from 1st and 2nd class along with the 5th and 6th class pupils took part in a STEM challenge. The activity was in response to the picture book 'How to Catch a Leprechaun'. 

This hands-on activity encouraged the groups to design, build, and test their creative traps while exploring some key STEM concepts. There were lots of innovative creations with pulleys, trap doors and bridges made from Lego, Knex, and bricks as well as using various props to tempt the leprechauns into their traps! There were great leadership and teamwork skills exhibited by everyone.
