Today, six girls from the book committee went down to the local primary school, Scoil Mohcua, Aghards, to talk to the 5th class students about their experience of primary school.
We gave them all an opportunity to express their feelings, through art, poetry or literature. We received about 50 contributions from the students, who were all very eager to get their pieces published. Some of the pieces produced are very moving, and show great understanding of what some children around the world experience. Many of the pieces show what a happy childhood children in Ireland have had through their primary school experience.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and it shone a light on the differences between 1st world and 3rd world children.

Well done to the six TY girls who under took this study.These insights are invaluable and certainly do highlight the privileged lives children in the developed world have.
