PADDY DONNELLY VISIT

We were very fortunate to have renowned local author Paddy Donnelly pay a visit to our school recently.

Paddy spent time with our P.4 and P.5 pupils where they enjoyed an afternoon of storytelling, creatively drawing mythical creatures as well as having their eyes opened to the wonder of nature and landscapes that we possess right on our own doorstep.

We learned that it is these landscapes and local nature which provide the inspiration for Paddy’s books and beautiful illustrations. We really enjoyed this workshop and the children are looking forward to reading a selection of Paddy’s books which we now have in our own school library.
