Last Tuesday, the senior room pupils were delighted to welcome former teacher in this school, Bernadette Conroy who came to talk to the children about her new book ‘Wakes on the shore’. A book about life on Inishturk South. Bernadette worked on the island and wrote about her experience there and the experience of others on the island. It was a very interesting talk and many of the children learnt that they had relations connected to Inishturk. Bernadette also wrote a lovely book called ‘Strands of Omey’s Story’, another interesting book about life on Omey island. It is wonderful to have this books to remember the local history around us. We are very grateful to Bernadette for making the time to come and talk to us.
