Children in Ms. O’Hare’s 3rd Class undertook a project with Ms. O’Crowley’s Senior Infants. The children in 3rd class wrote and illustrated a personalised story for a child in Senior Infants, based on their likes and interests. They recently presented their books to their young buddies to much excitement.
Book Week and Dress-Up as a Character from a Book
As we get ready to celebrate Book Week this week, we are appealing for donations of books that your child may have outgrown. Spring is an ideal time to sort through and donate any used books to us, and on Friday, we hope that every child will be able to receive new books. We have collection boxes in each classroom, ready and waiting for your donations.
Across the school, we have planned a number of activities for all our pupils. Each child will be encouraged to bring in their favourite book, and also to share a photo of their favourite place to read. The highlight of our Book Week will be on Friday, when everyone is encouraged to dress up as a character from their favourite book.
Our library is back in action, following a temporary reconfiguration to accommodate a space for Special Education Teaching and an additional space for the children in Room 20. A big thanks to our three Librarians for their time and commitment – all three are parents who have volunteered their time to ensure children can borrow and read books from our well-stocked library on a regular basis.
On Wednesday 2nd of October the two fifth classes went to Shankill Library. We went there to see an author called Brían Dungan.He wrote an amazing book called Wintour’s Game, which May Zanchetta, Anna Moloney, Emma Somers and Johann Conlon all read. Here are some of their honest reviews of
the book.
“The cover is amazing! I feel like in a book like this you just need a thief. If I could have powers I’d be an oracle!”
Emma Somers
“The cover really gives a great replication of the story .I love the way you think she’s bad and then all of a sudden she’s good.The guys that can freeze time are the best.
-Johann Conlon
“I think Brían is a very artistic and imaginative person. The book was really great and I’m looking
forward to part two.”
-Anna Moloney
“The book was really good,one of the best I’ve read.It was interesting and it also just kept you
wanting to read more.”
-May Zanchetta
Thank you to Patricia, the librarian for organizing this lovely outing.
