Mr O’Sullivan’s 6th class

We were all very excited returning to school after the Summer holidays. It was great to meet up with all our friends again and to find out what everybody did during the Summer. There was no homework for the first two weeks. During this month, We all did a project on somebody who displayed amazing human endurance. We researched people like Tom Crean, Steven Callahan, Harrison Okene, Pino Lella, Dean Karnazes, Aron Ralston and Juliane Koepcke. We really enjoyed presenting these projects to the class. “Holes” is our new novel and it is really good. It is about a boy named, “Stanley” who is sent to a detention centre and has to dig a big hole every day.
