• App development

  Thu 27 Mar 2025 Miss O Kane

  Over the past few weeks we have been working on an ‘App Development’ Project. 

  This has proven to be a very successful and enjoyable activity, covering many areas of the curriculum. 

  Literacy: The children used their persuasive writing skills to write Dragon’s Den Style pitches, which were presented to our special guest last Friday. 

  Art & ICT: The children used their ICT skills to create engaging and intriguing logos for their app. 

  Maths: The children thought about ways to maximise profit and promote their idea. 

  Drama: The children spoke confidently and engaged with their audience whilst explaining their ideas. 

  It was fantastic to see all children work hard over the last few weeks and present their final business plan. 

  This will prove to be a very worthwhile project, with a number of subjects in Post-Primary School now involving an aspect of App Design and Coding. 

  Well done to everyone for putting their all into this and a massive thank you to our special guest, Conor Brolly (IT Consultant), for calling down to see and hear about our ideas and pick a lucky winner.
