Well done to Carmel & Anna who were merit winners in the Write a Book competition on Wednesday night in the Midlands Park Hotel Portlaoise. This was organised by the Laois Education Centre.

Niall de Búrca stole the show with his interactive tales. Definitely had us all eating out of his hand. Great performer.

We also had 6 highly recommended winners who all got prizes in school. They were Mikey Loughnane, Lucia Keane, Holly Loughnane, Kayla Treacy, Muireann Meade & Josh Murphy. Each child got a pen and certificate for their participation. All their stories were really fantastic. It is a great achievement.
