Design and Technology Transition Day at St Joseph’s

On Thursday 30th March P7 went across to St Josephs to complete a design project.  The used a computer graphics programme to create a 3D image of their pencil holder to exact dimensions and experimented with the software to change the colour, material and shape of their design.  They then created the pencil holder in the technical department.  They got to use lots of tools and equipment that they would normally not experience until 1st year so it was a fantastic opportunity.  Everyone came up with their own unique design from wolves, to sharks or unicorns.  We even had an aptly named Designosaurus! Well done to the St Joseph’s staff who made this possible for us. The children have been so enthusiastic about the day as I’m sure you will have heard!  There was even the chance to meet and have lunch, chats and football with some of the children from St Columba’s and St Teresa’s who will also be starting S1 in August.
