Mr Mc Crory’s Year 7 pupils, who are involved in the ‘Book Award Project’ have been working extremely hard to create green screen book trailers for their favourite books.
The ‘Book Award’ is a collaborative project between pupils from Saint Conor’s P.S, Christ The King and Sacred Heart College. The project was launched back in January and is aimed at promoting reading for pleasure and collaboration between pupils from neighbouring schools. Since the first meeting in Omagh Library, the pupils have been busy reading a wide selection of popular children’s books provided by Pauline Armstrong from the Schools’ Library Service. The pupils have written and shared their book reviews with each other, using an online collaborative platform called One Note. The pupils have had an opportunity to discuss, comment and vote on their favourite books and then they created digital story trailers with the help of their teachers and staff from The Nerve Centre in Derry. The achievements and successes of the project will be celebrated in a showcase ceremony in Omagh Library on Friday 25th May.
