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.

The Discover Primary Science and Maths programme is an 

initiative which aims to develop the children's  curiosity  

and interest in the areas of science, technology, engineering and

maths(STEM) .This is our first year participating in the

programme and we are applying for the Plaque of STEM

Excellence.

All classes got involved in the programme and we have

greatly enjoyed the experience.

Throughout the year we have been building up a log of evidence

which we will be submitting in the coming week. This log can be

viewed below.

We hope you enjoy it.
