Event Description

Get ready for a fun-filled day of weather adventures and creativity!

Part 1: The Weatherbies Interactive Workshop

Join The Weatherbies and their lovable friends for an exciting journey through weather, nature, and caring for our planet!
Using songs, stories, fun topic videos, and interactive games, children will explore the wonderful world around them — from rainbows and sunshine to recycling and growing plants.

With help from a friendly facilitator, pupils will:

• Observe the day’s weather using the Weatherbies Weather Board 
• Enjoy story time with Weatherbies favourites like Sammy Sun, Rosie Rainbow, and Ronny Rain 
• Watch Fun Topic Videos that make learning about the environment easy and exciting 
• Sing and dance along to catchy Weatherbies tunes
• Play interactive games that bring each lesson to life 

By the end, children will have explored how small actions can make a big difference — at school, at home, and in their communities.

Part 2: “Don’t just play games. Create them!”

Now it’s time for young creators to become game designers!
In this hands-on workshop delivered by Nerve Centre Creative Learning team, pupils will use ScratchJr to create their very own Weatherbies-inspired weather game.

They’ll:

• Design colourful weather characters
  Build exciting levels that tell a weather story 
• Bring it all to life using simple, drag-and-drop coding blocks 

With guidance and imagination, children will learn the basics of programming while expressing their creativity, and by the end, they’ll have a game that’s truly their own!

Please note that this workshop is delivered through the Irish Language. 

==============================================================

Bí réidh le haghaidh lá lán spraíúla eachtraíochta aimsire agus cruthaitheachta!

An chéad chuid: Ceardlann Idirghníomhach na Weatherbies

Bígí linn leis na Weatherbies agus a gcairde ar thuras spreagúil tríd an aimsir, an domhan nádúrtha, agus aire a thabhairt dár bplainéad!

Ag baint úsáide as amhráin, scéalta, físeáin spraíúla agus cluichí idirghníomhacha, breathnóidh na páistí ar an domhan iontach timpeall orthu. Féachfaimid ar tuar ceatha, solas na gréine, hathchúrsáil agus beatha phlandúil.

Le cabhair ó éascaitheoir cairdiúil, beidh na daltaí ag:

• Breathnaigh ar aimsir an lae le Weatherbies Weather Board
• Bain sult as am scéalaíochta le carachtair Weatherbies ar nós Sammy Sun, Rosie Rainbow, agus Ronny Rain.
• Féachfaimid ar fhíseáin a chabhróidh linn an timpeallacht a thuiscint
• Canfaimid agus damhsaimid le hamhráin spraíúla na Weatherbies.
• Imreoid muid cluichí idirghníomhacha a thugann beocht do gach ceacht
• faoi ​​dheireadh beidh iniúchadh deanta ag na páistíai ar an gcaoi a mbíonn tionchar mór ag gníomhartha beaga

Fad: 1.5–2 uair

An dara chuid: “Ná himirt cluichí amháin. Cruthaigh iad!”

Anois tá sé in am do chruthaitheoirí óga a bheith ina ndearthóirí cluichí.

Sa cheardlann phraiticiúil seo, úsáidfidh na daltaí ScratchJr chun a cluichí aimsire féin a chruthú atá spreagtha ag na Weatherbies.

Cad atá i gceist?:

• Déanfaidh na páistí carachtair ildaite a dhearadh
• Tóg leibhéil spreagúla a insíonn scéal na haimsire
• Tarraing agus scaoil le cód bloc chun beocht a chuir ur a gcuid cluichí

Le treoir agus samhlaíocht, foghlaimeoidh páistí bunghnéithe na códaithe agus cuirfidh siad 

a gcruthaitheacht in iúl ag an am céanna.
