I am very excited about this. The author of Harry Potter has written a new kids book and it can be found here:
http://www.theickabog.com First written over ten years ago as a bedtime story for her younger children, she decided to share the personal family favourite now online and for free, in instalments, to help entertain children, parents and carers confined at home during the coronavirus lockdown. She is also inviting children around the world to illustrate her story as the series unfolds online. Parents and guardians can enter their children’s artwork into an official Ickabog Illustration Competition being run by J.K. Rowling’s publishers.

I have received one entry to the wind chime competition already. I am loving the shells. well done :)
With this lovely weather, we are spending lots of time in our gardens. This week I would love if you could design a wind chime to hang in your garden. I don't want you going to the shop and buying lots of materials for this. Check the recycling bin, the shed, the arts and crafts box. There are many things you could use: wire hangers, keys, spoons, tin cans, shells, sticks, fishing wire, string. Keep it simple and have fun :) Like last week I will have a little prize for my favourite 3 :) Closing date for entries is Sunday 31st May. Here are some examples below for inspiration but I know yours will be better as usual :)
Well done to the 10 boys who participated in this week's "Design a Potato" challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed receiving them. A lot of hard work went into designing original creations. It was very hard to judge and had to get an outside adjudicator- "Mammy Smyth" to help me. Together we chose these: 1st place 2nd Place Joined 3rd place Keep an eye on the post in the coming days for your little prize.
Here are some more entries to our competition. It is going to be very hard to judge.!! "Spuddy Mercury"
Final day for entries to the competition is Sunday. Thanks to all who have entered so far. They are really cool :) "Cillian Kicking Covid 19" "Corona Virus" This lad decided to make 2 :) Spiderman
This is another happy class member. His Mum sent me the photo after he heard he had won his pen licence. Well done and keep up the neat handwriting!!
Here is a very busy lad since we finished school. He spent all weekend helping his parents put in their new garden. I think you are doing a wonderful job. When you are finished maybe you could come to Castleblayney and work on my garden? :)
