BLAST 2021: TY Children's Book Project with artist Adrienne Geoghegan
Starting on Tuesday, 1st February with a trip to Rathmines Library to look at examples of children's books, the TY's then worked for five weeks with Ms. Talbot, Ms Mahon and illustrator/artist Adrienne Geoghegan. We had such an enjoyable time with her creating our own children's picture books.
Through the BLAST 2021 initiative, Stratford College was selected to have artist/illustrator Adrienne Geoghegan visit TY English classes during February 2022.
