World Book Day

Today we celebrated World Book Day in our school.  The children were very excited to share the books that they brought to school and they were excited to be dressed up as a book character! We love reading in our class!

Library Time

We go to the library every Thursday to choose a new book. Our library is full of so many fantastic books and we love the chance to pick out our own book. We like to share with others and to tell them about the book we are reading.

Learning in Literacy

In our classroom we love to learn to read and write new words. We have been learning about different word families and we make lots of different real words and sometimes even nonsense words! We use the lovely resources in our class like magnetic letters and this week we filled our tree on the board with lots of word apples! 

We love reading!

We love reading in our class and we visit the library every week to read books and pick out other interesting books to read at home!

World Book Day

We had great fun dressing up as our favourite storybook characters for World Book Day! We also loved listening to and reading other children's favourite stories too!

Santa's Little Helper

We Múinteoir Ailish's Junior Infants had a very special visitor in their classroom before the holidays - Santa's Little Helper! She read them a special Christmas story all about the importance of spending time with family and friends over the festive season!

Our School Library

We are so lucky to have such a fantastic library in our school. All of the boys and girls in our class get to take a book home each week from the library. Look at how happy we are to be bringing home our first book from the library this year!

Reading with Author Derek Mulvern

This week we took a trip to Ballybane library, to listen to an author read to us. 

We travelled on a big bus and sang songs along the way. 

Derek Mulveen is from Galway, just like us, and has written books like Oisín the Brave, Moon Adventure and Treasure Island. 

We had great fun listening to him reading his stories to us! We even joined in making using some alien language he taught us! 

We were very happy after our trip to the library!
