P4 ICT Carousel

19th Feb 2026

This afternoon, the Primary 4 children had a carousel event, filled with a variety of ICT activities. They dived into the world of coding by driving Sphero robots, expertly creating targets and mazes for these interactive robots to hit. But the fun didn’t stop there. Using their creativity, the children created delightful stop motion animations with finger puppets. As a result, it was fantastic to witness the students fully engaged and having so much fun with Miss McCarthy, while discovering the many ways technology can be used for learning and play. Both Miss McCarthy and Mrs O’Neill were very impressed with their imagination. Don't forget to check out their wonderful Stop-Motion animation videos at the end of this post!
