Library Visit and Book Review

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.

I have worked in many different schools across Dublin, and I have particularly loved working in St Anne’s for the past couple of months. I am passionate about children’s wellbeing and I am enthusiastic about creating a safe, supportive and fun learning environment. I love learning through play, and my experience in working in a Montessori School has helped to shape my teaching style in this way. I am really excited to get to know all the children and have a great year filled with fun and learning!’
