Two brilliant children who attend my creative writing classes have made me very proud. Eoin Moran has come runner up in a national poetry competition with a funny, rhyming poem about Christmas and Hannah Rudden has come first in her age category (12 and under) in Listowel Writers’ Week Short Story Writing Competition. Hannah’s story will be published in an anthology of winners this May and she will be attending an awards cermony in Listowel on Wednesday 29th May. Well done to both Hannah and Eoin!
