                                Get Out of Jail Early (Page 6)
We all know that reading is important. But, in the country of Bolivia, prisners have
discovered that reading can get them released from jail early! ‘Books Behind Bars’ is a
programme based on a similer set-up in Brazil. Both these countries experience severe
overcrouding in their prisons.
Bolivia lacks the resources to offer edukation or other help to people in many of the jails,
and the system is so slow in some places that people might waite years before going to
triall. In 47 of Bolivia’s prisons, 865 inmates are now reading books and taking tests to
check for understanding.
Other than a bit of entertanement, what is to be gained by these inmates? Depending on
how much they read, they can take hours, days, or even weeks off their sentinces. This may
not sound like a lot but, for a person sitting in jail, every minite counts.
When these prisoners are finally released, they have learned to read and write at a higher
level. This might help them when they look for jobs after bean released. Reading is also a
way for them to ‘escape’ for a few minutes or even hours, all while they are still behind
bars.

                            Marilyn Still Wows (Page 6)
An Andy Warhol painting of actriss Marilyn Monroe was recently sold at auction. That painting is now
the 20th century’s most costly art peace, selling for $195 million (€186 million)!
Warhol was an American artist, photografer and filmmaker. He is famous for his 1960s works in the
Pop Art style, such as the Coke and Campbell soup can paintings. Warhol made five, in different
colours. Four are called 'Shot' because another artist shot through a stack of them as a stunt. Warhol
repared them.
This crazily expensive artwork, called Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, was created in 1964. The bright
painting is based on a photograph of the famous actress. Although the style is VERY differint,
Marilyn’s mysterious smile is often compaired to da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
This sum is the most anyone has pade, to date, for an American painting. The winning bid was from
Larry Gagosian, a US art dealer and gallary owner. Christie’s auction house says the money from this
sale will go to a foundashion in Switzerland that helps children throughout the world by suporting
education and healthcare programmes.

This unusual walkway spans 630 metres and has a floor made from three lairs of super-tempered glass. As
many as 450 visitors are safeley aloud to walk on the bridge at one time. Since the Covid-19 pandemic,
Vietnam hopes to renew tourists’ interest in visiting the country, with this type of attracktion serving as a

                                            Drama Time
Each month, we invite you and your class to base your drama lesson on a theme from The Primary Planet.

This month, we are turning our attention to the news section, both national and world news, and the feature as
possible starting points. We challenge you to create a short piece of drama, involving an array of characters, to
demonstrate one of the news stories covered. To help you, should you need it, we have provided some ideas
below.

 Idea 1: Imagine you are interviewing Jerimiah Higgins. What do you think he would make of his shop now?
 What questions would you ask him?

 Idea 2: Pretend that you are a famous singer, like David Gray. Prepare a monologue about a cause you would
 be happy to stand behind and support.

 Idea 3: Act out the art auction where the Warhol painting of Marilyn Monroe was sold. The period running up
 to the auction as well as the auction itself.

 Idea 4: Create a drama centred around the naming of the new baby rhino. Perhaps it doesn’t go quite as
 planned!

 Idea 5: You have been invited to accompany Tim Severin on the Voyage of Brendan.

 Idea 6: Create a drama around a heated debate that arises from people arguing that Colombus, Erikson and
 Brendan were the first Europeans to set foot on American soil. They can’t all be right, can they?

                                          Have Your Say
Based on articles from this month's mag, we want you to think about some of the issues that arise. Remember,
when you are trying to put forward an opinion, or an argument, make sure you know your facts and figures and be
clear in how you feel about a certain topic and why. Here are some questions and statements you and your class
might like to consider thinking about and discussing. Some you will agree with, some you clearly won't!

 1.     That glass bridge in Vietnam looks awesome but is much too dangerous. It should not be allowed!

 2.     Bears should be shot on sight because of the damage they could cause.

 3.      Yarn-bombing post boxes would be a super school project.

 4.     Saint Brendan was definitely the first European to discover America.

 5.      Cigarettes should be made illegal. That way, no one would smoke, and no butts would poison.

 6.     Pandas are the cutest animals in the world. Fact!

 7.     Rory McIlroy should be made play in the Irish Open.

 8.     Maradona’s jersey isn’t worth €8.4 million. No jersey is!

I didn’t just copy it from TPP, I wrote it out in my own words. Always a great idea when doing a project.

 Did You Know?

 Many of Ireland’s ash trees are dying. They have been attacked by a fungus which is causing them to decay. Ash
 has traditionally been used in Ireland for the manufacture of hurls sometimes called hurleys – depending on
 what part of the country you live in. Torpey Hurleys in County Clare are now making some of their hurls from
 bamboo. Called Bambú hurleys, they are proving popular with many hurlers around Ireland.
