The boys in fifth class recently designed a “Light House Paper Circuit” using copper tape, a coin battery, LED, circuit template, lighthouse template and their colours. They each followed the procedure in a logical and efficient way in order to complete the project. Afterwards, some shared their experiences of visiting Hook Head Lighthouse, Co. Wexford and Poolbeg Lighthouse in Dublin. It is incredible to think that many years ago a highly responsible man was employed to be the Lighthouse Keeper. Nowadays due to advances in technology this job is done through automation and robotics. The last Lighthouse Keeper in Ireland finished his job back in 2012.
