Each week, we will be uploading some challenges for pupils in a number of curricular areas. We hope pupils will  enjoy doing these challenges and that they will post a photograph of their completed challenge to our Twitter feed. Our thanks to Gemma Meehan for the Visual Arts challenges and to the Directors of Clare, Galway and Laois Education Centres for sharing some of their challenges with us. Thanks to Niall Larkin, PDST IT Advisor for designing our posters and for overseeing our Twitter feed.
