For this year's Euroscola compeition, we have been tasked with creating our own competition! Last year, it was a six word challenge, the previous year it was a poster and the year before that, it was a webpage. We wanted to do something that hasn't been done before so we came up with ...
                            
                                    THE EUROSELFIE COMPETITION


Your task is to create an A4 collage of selfies. You must include as many of the following selfies as possible:

1. A selfie with the EU flag.
2. A selfie with an MEP.
3. A selfie with traditional food from another European country. 
4. A selfie with as many other European nationalities as possible. 
5. A selfie with another student in a different school uniform. 
6. A selfie in front of a local business that sells products from another European country. 


GOOD LUCK!

Wednesday 16th September saw the return of the Microsoft CoderDojo in Dublin after the Summer break. I attended in my capacity as Irish Ambassador for EU Code Week. The evening kicked off with a presentation from St. Oliver's very own Cian Bohan. He presented his new app Safewalk. There's no stopping this young man - I hope he remembers us when he's living the high life in Silicon Valley. 

Next on the agenda was a workshop from Derk Breen, author of 'Scratch for Kids'. Derek entertained the kids and mentors with his wacky workshop. He showed us fab features in Scratch, such as 'Vector Graphics'!

This is the link where you can enter The Graduate Quiz to win trips to Strasbourg. 

Five students from St. Oliver's have won the prize in the last three years. We have also been lucky enough to win a free trip to Euroscola in Strasbourg for the whole class! Our prize was sponsored by The Ombudsman for Children and we won through a competition on the European Parliament in Ireland website.
