Primary 5 are poets and they know it!

Primary Five attended a book launch of a book which contained poetry written by themselves. In advance of the opening of the Seamus Heaney Centre in Bellaghy primary 5 worked alongside poet and teacher Mrs Maura Johnston who helped them study some of Seamus Heaney's best known poems. This inspired them to write wonderful poetry of their own. These poems are published in A Sense of Home which is a fine collection of poetry which features the work of children from several local schools. Some of our children even had the privilege of being selected to read their own poetry at the launch.
