Lego design Challenge

Lego design Challenge

    This year we participated in the heritage council Lego competition.

For the competition you needed to build a historic landmark in our locality.

You also needed to  right a paragraph of what you think was historic about the landmark or a  animal native to  Ireland .                                                                                                                   

   There were 3 categories for the competition 5-7  6-9 and 10-12.

 If you won  your Lego build would be sent to the  Medieval Museum in  Kilkenny. 

Here are some of our entries.

Anna did the beacon in Baltimore 


            
                           

Lauren did  Trailispeen  a local  beach near or school.


Michael did the Whiddy Island  naval base in Bantry.

                                                          


 Roisín did the Kilcoe Castle a very famous castle owned by Jeremy Irons.                                                    


 James did the Irish Hare a native rabbit to Ireland 


Jacob did Gougane Barra Oratory in County Cork.     


     Hannah did the Twelve Arch Bridge in Ballydehob


Sam did the Fasnet Lighthouse

Patrick Did Kilcoe Church. This church is right beside or school.

After a few weeks of waiting we received news that Sam had came runner up in his age category. His model was sent  to  Medieval Museum in county  Kilkenny and was put on display. A few weeks later his model came back and some got a Lego building book and a letter congratulating him on his model.Well done Sam.
