Write A Book Project 2016

Ms Downey’s 2nd Class were very lucky to participate in this year’s Write A Book project. All 23 boys and girls worked extremely hard at brainstorming, drafting, writing and illustrating their very own book. There were lots of different types of books written from ghost stories, fact books and biographies to fairytales and diaries. The boys and girls discovered how exciting and fun the writing process can be! When their books were completed they were sent to another school in Laois to be judged and in turn we received a set of wonderful books from Geashill NS which we really enjoyed reading. After all the hard work, we were delighted to discover we had an overall Merit winner and five Highly Commended winners in the class. Our Merit winner was David Fleming with his book Goosebumps who got to attend the awards ceremony in the Heritage Hotel on June 1st. Our Highly Commended winners were Jack Fennell who wrote Candy Land, Aleksandra Mista who wrote Penguins, Mantas Pusevicius who wrote The Universe , Aaron Bowden Adair who wrote Goosebumps and Jakub Gogol who wrote Ninjas.

Aaron, Aleksandra, Jakub, David, Jack and Mantas

Well done to all the winners and the rest of the class who all received certificates for their magnificent work! We definitely have famous authors in our midst! Watch the bookshelves in the very near future!!
