P4 and AI Usage

3rd Feb 2026
In P4, the students were learning all about Artificial intelligence (AI) - exploring how this technology is transforming daily life and its usage in various fields. From voice assistants to recommendation systems and fire fighting, the children discussed the diverse application of AI and it’s incredible reach. To personalise their learning, the children crafted colourful posters showcasing the different ways AI is used. The highlight of the lesson was an AI-generated message sent from Miss McCarthy to Mrs O’Neill, expressing why P4 is undeniably the best class. The children were thrilled to see AI in action, and it sparked plenty of interesting discussions and ideas.
