Budding Journalists At Somerlea Park
by Paul Curran-Bilbie on Thursday 10 December 2009

Class three at Somerlea Park Junior School have recently done a project in their exciting writing lesson where they wrote their own news articles.

I have promised to look over the articles and pick a winner and have also agreed to publish any suitable articles on the Parish Council Web Site.

The standard of work was very high and I finally picked a winner however all of the top eight articles were so good we have published six of them later in this story.

The competition winner was a joint article written between Adam Moss and Nathan Hemsley which told of the departure from the X-Factor of the JEDWARD Twins.

Well done to all pupils who wrote an article, there were some fantastic stories to choose from.
Twins Leave X Factor

On Saturday John and Edward, better known as Jedward, left X-Factor and town!

The were mad and went home in a shock!

Both 17 Years old from Dublin, Ireland. They left because they were thought to be rubbish singers but it is argued they were great entertainers.
