CETNS Lego Model Project
The Heritage Council of Ireland put out a call asking children from across the country to get creative and showcase an element of Irish-built, natural or cultural heritage using LEGO® bricks, and the wonderful children of CETNS duly obliged. We have lots of enthusiastic Lego master builders across the school who were only too delighted to take up the challenge. We received lots of creative, imaginative, and expertly built Lego models which are currently on display in our foyer. Please have a look at some pictures below of the incredible Lego models that the children made.
The Heritage Council ran a competition across two age groups, 4-7 and 8-12, across Ireland. We are delighted to share the news that CETNS had two winners and four runners-up across the different age categories which is an incredible achievement. Our two winners were Luke Campbell (Caoimhín's 4th Class) and Isabella Carwood (Alison's 1st Class). Our four runners-up were Ishaan Dalmia (Sinéad's Class), Liam Giusti (Alison's 1st Class), Sophie Dixon (Caoimhín's 4th Class), and Jerry Luo (Conor's 5th Class).
Models made by Oisin in Lisa's Senior Infants (Wellington Monument), Nikki in Larah's 1st class (Papal Cross), Miar in Elaine's 2nd class (Poolbeg Chimneys and Cian in Paula/Claire's 4th class ( Newgrange ) are also to be seen in the introduction of the video announcing the winners.
Congratulations to all of them, but also to all our amazing Lego builders who made models.
The winning entries will now be showcased at a special exhibition at Kilkenny Medieval Mile Museum from the 7th - 26th of February 2023. Wow!
