One Book, One Community Opening Ceremony

6th Class went to the opening ceremony of the One Book, One Community project today in O’Connell’s School. Sixteen schools in the local area will all read the same book during the next six weeks. The book chosen this year is called ‘Trash’. It was written by Andy Mulligan and it has just been made into a movie! Over the next few weeks we will take part in competitions and quizzes based on the book. The first competition was to design a bookmark based on the book and project. One of the primary school winners was a girl in our class! The boys and girls came home with a lovely goody bag today and they also got to meet the special guest Aodhán Ó Ríordáin. RTÉ were also there recording and we might be on News2Day next Monday!

​We can’t wait to read the book!
