PUPILS at St. Patrick’s National School in
Drumfries are getting ready this week to put
their finishing touches to a new school
newspaper they hope to have out once every term.
The industrious fifth and sixth class students
from Mrs Walsh’s class have worked extremely
hard on the new paper which they will have
available this week.
The students have been working very hard over
the past few weeks on the new publication, which
will include interviews with some of the school
students and a comprehensive sports section.
“We started out thinking it would be a four page
paper but it grew and grew and now we have ten,”
class teacher Mrs Walsh told the Inishowen
Independent last week.
As part of their work on putting the paper
together, the classroom was visited last week by
Inishowen Independent editor, Liam Porter.
He gave the students an insight into how a
newspaper is put together and answered many of
their questions.
“The students were so enthusiastic about their
project and it was easy to see that their hard
work has paid off because having had a glimpse
of their new paper I know it will be a fantastic
succcess,” he said.
But the paper isn’t confined to work from the
fifth and sixth class students and there are
valuable contributions made by some of the other
classes in the school as well.
The Drumfries students are looking forward to
their new paper coming out this week and are
already starting to make plans for the next
edition which, they hope, will be ready before
Christmas. (Inishowen
