This year World Book Day lasted a full week! Each child received a book voucher for €1.50 to put towards the purchase of a book of their choice or to exchange for a specially written book for World Book Day at local Bookshops. The children in each classroom were busy reading, discussing and enjoying a variety of books and also took part in book quizzes. Our older pupils read library books to our younger pupils. This was lovely experience and was enjoyed by both young and old. Thanks a million to our senior pupils who read so brilliantly and for making it such a memorable occasion for our younger children!
The major event for the week was the Poster Competition. Junior and Senior Infants drew and coloured their favourite character. First and Second drew their own book covers and Third to Sixth classes designed posters to encourage reading.
Each child got involved and the results were amazing. Judges picked four winners from each class and the winning posters are on display along the corridor. The winners are as follows:
Infants: Ruby Boyle, Conor O’ Sullivan, Packie Kirby, Fiadh Houlihan
