Nature writing webinar with author Shane Casey.
On the 15th of September the pupils in the Senior Room enjoyed a live webinar with author Shane Casey and members of the Kerry and Dublin Bay biospheres. Shane spoke to the pupils about the process of writing a story, picking a character, choosing a setting, deciding on the action and writing a conclusion. At various stages the pupils were engaged in short writing exercises and coming up with ideas for their own nature stories.
We will post some of their fantastic stories on this site next week.

Draw along with Laureate na nÓg.
On the 17th of September the pupils in the Junior Room took part in a drawing and storytelling workshop presented by Laureate na nÓg Áine Ní Ghlinn and illustrator Tarsila Kruse. They drew some very cool robots and listened to a story and it was all ‘as Gaeilge’.
