Budding writers!

In sixth class we have undertaken a project to write and illustrate books for some children in London! The children attend a school called Hill Mead in the disadvantaged area of Brixton. To prepare for our books we started doing some paired reading with Senior Infants. By doing this we got an idea of what level to pitch our books at. We also took note of the words used and how books were illustrated. We have been very busy writing stories, drawing our illustrations and designing covers. It has been hard work but it will be very worthwhile when we give the gifts to the children of Year 1 in Hill Mead.

Things go Batty in 6th Class!!!!


Raymond Stephans, a Conservation ranger with Galway County Council came to talk to us about Bats! We learned all about Long -eared bats, Pipistrelle bats, Daubenton's...to name but a few! It was really interesting and we will put some more information up on our blog after Halloween. We had great fun looking at the bats and the equipment Ray brought in.  Have a look at some of the photos our class photographers took!!!
