The children of fifth class were very lucky to receive a special visit from local author - Jackie Burke. Jackie, who wrote the Grindlewood series went down a big hit with the children. It was great to get an insight into the work of an author and to be able to ask questions about becoming an author.
The children of fifth class, who are reading Grindlewood as part of their 'Book Clubs' in school gathered together to listen to the work of Jackie Burke. She spoke about the ideas behind her books, how long it takes her to write a story and the hard work it takes to develop a story.
A big thank you to Jackie in Clane Library for remembering us and bring Jackie Burke to our school!
