The students from last year’s 6B Class couldn’t be more excited on Wednesday morning, 22nd of February 2023, as they made their way to the 17th National FÍS Awards Ceremony in the Helix theatre. While in 6th class, 6B made a short film to participate in the 2022 FÍS Film competition and their entry ‘Walking Through Time’ has been nominated for a National Award. We are delighted for last year’s 6B Class students who won the 2022 FÍS Film Award for ‘best storytelling’. ‘Walking Through Time’ was written, acted in and directed by themselves, supported and advised by their teachers Ms. Coakley and Ms. Doyle. Many Congratulations and well done to all involved.
The FÍS is a successful film project in primary schools across Ireland. The FÍS project ‘empowers teachers and children to explore the medium of film and digital media in the primary curriculum, developing the areas of active learning, creative thinking, language, imagination, collaborative learning and problem solving skills as well as giving children hands-on experience of using creative technology as part of the film.
