Online learning projects
Our TY students have not been deterred by the challenges of online learning. They have used this time to enhance their creative skills by working on various projects set by their Year Head and teachers. These projects include building the Eiffel Tower out of match sticks, making their own ukulele and learning how to play it as well as growing sunflower and lettuce seeds. We look forward to seeing the fruits of their labour when all the projects are completed!

Construction Studies and Technology orange Drogheda Grammar School Construction Studies and Technology projects
Form 5 Construction Studies students were very busy completing a practical project while at home this month. The students were posted out flat packs of a wall where they then had to draw it out of scale 1:10 to complete it. They had to add their own insulation, breathable membrane, plasterboard etc. Form 1 and 2 students were also set a challenge to come up with a “Life Hack”.
They had to upcycle an item at home that gave it a new use, or design a prototype of something that they can use. They ranged from – painted light bulbs, turning an orange into a candle, frying an egg on a tin can, music amplifiers and storage units. Fantastic effort made by all students.
