5th Year Dictionary Page Posters

As part of the PDST "Well Read" campaign Ms. Keogh's 5th years class created these dictionary page posters. The aim is for them to be displayed in the newly renovated library. Each pupil chose a word out of a hat. There were 22 words, each starting with a different letter of the alphabet. They researched their word and portrayed said word through drawing in a variety of mixed media onto the surface of a coffee stained dictionary page.
