Literacy camp captures young imaginations

LAURYN FULLER would rather be an actress than a teacher, but that didn’t stop her explaining the rules of a game invented by herself and her classmates.

Between the showers in the last week of the holidays, the fifth-class pupil and more than 30 others have been having fun with reading and writing back at school in Cork’s north inner city.

After helping others in her group devise a game they called The Funky Race, she then had to teach it to some of the younger pupils. But while she enjoyed this, teaching isn’t a career she has in mind at this stage.
