James's Lego

Making the gates for the castle was the most enjoyable part of the project for me. I felt delighted when it worked properly. The thing I disliked about the lego was when the modeles broke. But I got over it. Overall it was brilliant.

My name is James Mockler. I go to Kilvemnon School.
I started this lego project a few months ago. When I started it I wasn't that good at it. But then I got the hang of things.
We went up to RDS in Dublin children from different schools came up. They had a lot of Lego models that were cool. Then we went to Kilkenny and joined up with other schools at a workshop. We had great fun building things.
When we went back to the school we were better at the Lego. My friend Ciaran and I built a model called 'The Spider'. I was delighted when I was finished.

When we were all finished what we had to do the teacher announced "We have to do a project". We decided to build the village of Mullinahone. We were all given a job to do. I had to build the Anner Bridge. I made it with a lot bricks. When I was finished it wasn't that good. Every time I moved it, it broke. So I decided to break it up.

After that I helped my friend Sean build and open the gate and close it. When it opened it would hit off a touch sensor and wait for ten seconds then it would close.
