The Access Office AT iTB
The main aim of the ITB Access Office is to ensure that access to third level education becomes a reality for students who are currently under represented at third level. One of the key roles of the ITB Access Office is to provide opportunities to students who traditionally might have found it difficult to access third level education, as well as to promote positive perceptions of the value of, and the enjoyment that can be gained from education generally. ITB has established many strong links with both primary and second level schools in the Dublin 15 area. We have collaborated with St. Patricks Senior School in Corduff on many projects over the last number of years such as school gardens, science week, robotics, maths workshops, creative writing workshops and this project has given us a great opportunity to capture a snapshot of the amazing imaginations of the 6th class children.

The Bachelor of Arts in Creative Digital Media at Institute of Technology Blanchardstown equips students with the skills and knowledge to embark upon a rewarding career in Digital Media.
Digital technology has made significant strides in recent years and the impact of this has not only transformed how traditional media is produced, delivered and consumed, but also led to the widespread adoption of newer media formats such as the World Wide Web, digital video, mobile computing, iPad/iPhone apps, multimedia, interactive TV, and computer games.
Successful practice in this area requires a combination of technological know-how, creative design skills, and a critical understanding of the industry context. Graduates of this programme are in an ideal position to operate at the heart of organisations engaged in innovative Digital Media projects.
Graduates of the course are well placed to work in any aspect of the creative industries from web design, visual language and layout, universal design, photography, video and film making, digital content management or sound engineering.

-Ahhhhh Im late for School. Shouted Harry as his alarm clock rang
loudly. He jumped out of his bed and into the shower. After he was done
dressing, he raced down the stairs into the kitchen and age his breakfast
with enthusiasm.
-Bye mum. Im off to school.
-Harry. His mum yelled.
-Did you remember to feed your pet fishes?
-Yes mum. BAM! He slammed the door with force.
I wish I had some pets that had legs that could get out of their cage and
get their food, so I would not have to do it. Dinosaurs, yes I would like
some pet dinosaurs. He thought.
-Hey Harry, give me your lunch money.
-Oh no. Said Harry. It was Josh, the bully who has been always picking
on him. Harry quickly rushed into his class and shut the door.
-Harry. Yelled the teacher.
-You are late yet again. Five hours of after school detention should
punish you enough.
-Why dont you punish yourself? Harry said quietly to himself.
-You think I should be punished eh? Said teacher.
-How about eight hours? See you in detention.
In detention Harry saw a bucket in the corner with small talking dinosaurs
called Pablo, Tina, Tyron and Oscar.
-Yeeeeessss. Said Harry.
He had finally found his pets.

In a land far away, there were three heroes whose mission was to take down
an evil villain called Killer Croc. He and his gang were the worst
people around. So my friends and I decided to put together a team to take
him down.
Allow me to introduce the three assassins: Crack, Snap and Pop. They are
the greatest in the town,theyve never been caught and will not stop. Then
there is Mr. Weetos, a man who always gets the job done and the last but
not least, Stiffler the Coco Pops Monkey, he is wise and skillful.
The team and I heard that something was happening in the city, and we
went out to investigate. We saw Killer Croc entering a dark building. The
assassins went around back, and Mr. Weetos and I went to the front. When
we were ready, we ran in and fought the evil gang. I attacked Killer Croc
to take him down, but he led us into a trap! We had to fight back, but killer
Crop blew the place to smithereens. When we came-to, killer Crop was gone.
We escaped this time, but the killer was still on the loose. We searched the
city and finally found him and his gang. We were going to give Killer Croc a
run for his Money, and we attacked them all. The gang members were
beaten, and I was fighting Killer Croc to the death. I kicked him in the face
but he was so angry he pulled out a gun and shot me! Mr. Weetos stepped
in to help, and tackled Killer Croc to the ground, so the police could arrest
him. The assassins took me out of the building and Mr. Weetos blew the
building up to save the world. Thanks to Mr. Weetos. the real hero I said,
the world is saved!

Once, there was a boy named Dylan and he was 15 years old. One day
whilst he was walking home from school, Dylan decided to take a short cut
and came across a big wooden house. For some reason he thought it would
be a good idea to enter the house, he was afraid but his friends were with
him so he tried to act cool.
He approached the porch and pushed on the big wooden door, it opened
with a groaning creek. Inside the house it was very dark and creepy with the
only light coming from the moon outside, Dylan was still trying to act cool
but he was really scared now. He went into what looked like a sitting room;
there was a TV and a couch, which made him think someone was actually
living there.
If its someones house, he thought maybe he should leave. Dylan went
back to the front door but it was now locked! He could no longer act cool
and started to panic but his friends calmed him down. All of a sudden the
group heard a strange laughing coming from somewhere in the house!
It was all too much for Dylan who sprang into action and grabbed a nearby
chair, throwing it towards the window, which broke into hundreds of pieces,
without another thought he dived through the window and ran.
And he never stopped running until he was safely at home; Ill take the
long way home in future he thought.

One day there was a knock at my door, I opened it and there stood the postman. Hey got a delivery here for a Jordan he said. Eh I didnt order anything.Look kid do you want something for free or not? I signed for it and took the package into my house, set it down on the table and began to open it.
The package was heavily wrapped and took some doing to open. When I pulled the last piece of wrapping off, there sat a really colourful watch with one huge button in the centre that was labeled start. I took it out and noticed there was no instructions. I pushed the start button and everything around me seemed to freeze!
I looked out the window and everything had been frozen in time. I pushed the button again and everything started moving. I quickly ran to the phone and called my friend Jamie, get over here quick, Ive something really cool to show you!
Jamie didnt waste time in getting over, I showed him the watch and asked him to touch the button. Everything froze again, he was amazed! What can we do with this? I said. Wait! We can do anything we want! So, we got loads of money, stopped time and boarded a plane to America!When the plane landed we stopped time and sneaked off the plane before anyone noticed we had no tickets. We used the watch again to get a red Ferrari and then drove to The White House; everyone was frozen so we had no problems getting in.
We picked president Obama up and threw him out the door, and then we replaced all of the old furniture with cool things we liked. We had a garage full of the best and fastest cars and bikes in the world and we even had a car in the living room, we replaced the windows in the front and back with 116-inch plasma screens.
Oh what a life it was, living in The White House!

Once upon a time there was a boy called Adekunle. He was royalty, and all
of his subjects looked up to him. The great thing about the kingdom was
that it was full of talking animals. The kingdom was very peaceful, but one
day Adekunles brother Trent wanted to rule the kingdom all on his own.
Their father Arthur declared that there would be a battle for the throne.
Adekunle was five years younger than his brother and he did not know what
to do. I shall make a plan to defeat my brother Trent? said prince Adekun-
le. Prince Adekunle, the kingdom is waiting for you to being your battle

It was an early morning, as bright as the sun itself. I woke to find myself
lying on the ground in a block land. I saw a sign saying To go back to the
real world you must defeat the Dragon in the end. I had to head to the
nearest village. A sign said that the village was up north. Finally I saw some
people and I knew this was the place. It had a sign saying Your house has
an iron door with buttons to open. Once I got inside I saw another sign
saying Iron gear in the chest in your room.
I woke up the next day with a person standing beside me. His name was
Notch. Suddenly two other guys appeared called Jeb and Herobrine. They
told me they would help me defeat the dragon. I was given two and a half
stacks of pearls. They said it would help me find the portal and that they
would meet me there. Then they faded away slowly. Soon I found the
portal. I was down to four hearts left and I only had one arrow, but I took
and leap and I shot it. BOOOM!!
Was it a dream, or not...?

There once were four boys named Tabacco Sinsero, Chael, Vandillo and
Tuffen. These boys had special talents. Tabacco could launch electricity
at enemies. Chael had claws, so when he struck at enemies it would go
through them. Vandillo had a stick, but was no ordinary stick because he
could shoot laser beams, energy balls and knives. Tuffen just had a sword
that gives lots of damage.
Now Tabacco is also known as Mechanical launcher. Chael is known as King
Claw. Vanditto is known as Nature Showman. Tuffen is known as Knight.
They were working to be heroes of the town. The town was shaking and
everybody was in their homes. The place that the four boys were standing
was like a big earthquake had just happened. Then they were teleported to
a weird place. They encountered lots of temple guards and blue and green
blobs, also some small octopuses. They bet them and came across some
puzzles, then the octopuss boss.
So, they entered the Dungeon. It was large. But they managed to beat it.
So they saved a woman named Celine. The woman took them to the town
of Delfoy. They met her bodyguard. The bodyguard was about to hit them
but Celine said NoThey are my friends. Then a woman came in and said
its time for church Celine, my dear. Celine said to the four heroes
Ok bye and check out the town guys.

Once there lived a talking pig named Billy. Billy lived in a field with lots of
talking animals. Billy and the horses are great friends and they spent all
their time running around the field.
There was a man who lived nearby named John. John was a scary, evil man
who liked to do mean things to animals. He had cuts and scares on his face.
He was always filthy and his hair was always messy. Nobody liked John
because he was bad and liked to hurt animals.
One day Billy was munching on some lovely truffles when he suddenly fell
very sick. John had put rat poison in Billys Mushrooms. Luckily the farmer
happened to be walking through the field and he saw Billy lying in the grass.
He rushed him to the vet, who gave Billy an Injection to make him better.
Meanwhile back at the field, the horses decided to go get revenge for Bil-
ly. They kicked Johns car and broke his windows. They dented his car with
their big hooves. John arrived and asked, What are you doing?
The horses replied, thats for hurting our friend Billy. After that day, John
never hurt an animal again and was very sorry.

Last summer I was on the beach having a great time but suddenly I felt
sweating. So when I got out of the sea I went to my uncle to ask for a drink.
He said he didnt have one. I started to get a bit annoyed. My uncle said hed
left the drinks at home.
I had to wait three hours until the ice cream van came. As soon as it arrived
I went over to my uncle. I asked him for money to get something off the
ice cream van. He said he had no money as he left it all at home. I told him
to go and get his money. While he was getting the money I was trying to
distract the man working in the ice cream van by talking to him to give my
uncle time to get back with the money.
My uncle gave me two euro to get something from the ice cream van. I was
going to get a drink but I decided I to get an ice cream instead. The man
gave me a big 99 for two euro. When the man handed me the ice cream it
suddenly began to talk. I went to back to sit beside my uncle. I thanked him
for the ice cream. I named the ice cream Goggaly Man. I really liked him. I
wanted to keep him for a long time but I couldnt because I was so hunger. I
eat him and he was lovely. Goggaly Man saved my life.

In a hole in the ground, there lived a rabbit. It wasnt a nasty, dirty, wet hole,
filled with worms and a terrible smell. Nor was it a dry, bare sandy hole,
with nothing to sit on or nothing to eat. It was a rabbit hole and that meant
comfort.
It had a perfectly round door painted green, with a shiny golden knob in
the exact middle. The door opened into a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel. It
looked a very comfortable tunnel without smoke. It had panelled walls, and
tiled floors, finished with polished chairs.
The Rabbit was fond of visitors. He was just sitting down to a cup of tea
when he got a visitor. It was a Hobbit. The Rabbit was good friends with the
Hobbit. So the Rabbit made some tea and something to eat for the Hobbit.
This is lovely, said the Hobbit. Would you like a dessert? asked the Rabbit.
Oh yes please, exclaimed the Hobbit.
Then, while the Rabbit was eating, someone knocked at the door. Oh
no, its a hunter, said the Rabbit. The hunter shot at them, but couldnt
manage to hit them. Then the hunter heard police sirens in the distance.
Oh no, he said, I have no license for my gun. He quickly ran thinking he

growing giant wings. No, wait, it wasnt a demon, it was an enormous bat !
Mr. Claws broke into the building. Looks like a little bat has broke loose

Dr. Zeus. He commenced to attack. He stunned Claws and began fierce fully
punching his stomach. Claws groaned with pain. He knew if he didnt suck

Once, there was a girl named Annbell. She had no friends and had a mean
brother, Sam. She always got teased in school and never told anyone,
except for her invisible friend, Sally. Sally may be invisible, but she cheered
up Annbell most of the time. Her parents, Dave and Linda, were too busy to
know what was wrong with her.
Annbell had never told anyone about her teasing before, but today was
the day. She could feel it. The three meanest girls in school were Jade, Ellie
and Lily. They went over to Annbell and started to make fun of her clothes.
Annbell broke into tears and said, Leave me alone, or - or - or Ill tell the
teacher on you. Then Annbell thought, I should stand up to these girls and
show them what Im made of! She eventually worked up her courage, but
still, it didnt work.
The next day, Annbell told her parents nothing, because she had a plan. She
decided to tell the principal. The principle called all three of the bullies into
her office. They were ordered to say sorry and write an apology. They were
also suspended for two weeks.
Annbell could now eat and play in peace since they left her alone after that.
I hope they learned their lesson. All the bullies parents came into the school
and grounded them from wearing make-up and fake nails.
