Before we get into some more showboating let us tell you a bit more about the project.
One Book One Community is an innative run by the home school liason teachers in the North Inner City. Pupils in 6th class and in first year from 19 schools all read the same book as well as parents in the community too. This project has been taking place for over 5 years now and is a great success. This year we all read the book 'The Blue Horse' by Marita Conlon McKenna. The book explores themes such as predjudice and a sense of home and belonging and is told through the story of Kaite Connors, a 12 year old traveller. It proved to be a very popular novel and we were even lucky enough to have the author Marita speak at the opening and closing ceremonies.
Back to the good news ........ The brainbox team comprising of Dane, Ben, Adam and Callum narrowly beat off the competition to take home the trophy for the Larriers. This is the first time we have won at the quiz and the trophy will be proudly displayed in our reception area.
