Tháinig John Connolly, an t-údar cáiliúil ar cuairt chugainn inniu. Rinneamar gearr scannán dá úrscéal ‘Cailleacha Underbury’  I mbliana agus tháinig sé go dtí an scoil chun féachaint air. Duine an chneasta agus cliste is ea é. Labhair sé linn faoina leabhair agus an chaoi ina thosaigh sé ag scríobh sa chéad áit. Bhí sé an tógtha lenár scannán agus mhol sé é. Gheall sé dúinn go gcuirfeadh sé ár scannán ar a shuíomh idirlín féin.  Bhaineamar  an taitneamh as an gcuairt agus táim ag tnúth lena  leabhair eile a léamh anois.
