April 23rd, 2018

We celebrated World Book Day in our school on the 23rd of

March 2018.

All the children looked fantastic as they  came to school dressed

up as their favourite book characters.

Lots of reading- based activities took place throughout the day

such as character interviews, book reviews  and shared reading

between junior and senior classes.

This year we were very fortunate to have a local author, Jim

Bartley, visit our school. Jim visited all the classrooms, he

discussed his work as an author and the inspiration behind his

stories . The children really enjoyed creating their own stories

with Jim's help.

Jim's lovely books 'The Adventures of Pippy and Dippy'  can

be bought for €5 each. Please email the school at

bobrienns@gmail.com if you would like to purchase one.
