Book Week took place at the beginning of March. All pupils took part in
activities to encourage a love of Reading.
Library
The
Library looked particularly
attractive as pupils' literary works were displayed. The senior classes wrote
poetry, reviewed a selection of books and dramatised the characters of popular
novels. Each child received a Book Coupon which entitled them to a discount on
the purchase of a book of their choice in local bookshops.
The
Book Fair
took place during the last week of April. Pupils were given the opportunity
to purchase books of their choice from a large selection, and the school
received a sizeable contribution of new books for our own library to the value
of £1,080.
On May 23rd, 2001, well-known Author and T.V.
Personality, Don Conroy,
visited the school. He talked about his books, illustrated characters from his
books and entertained the pupils with stories and jokes. He was received with
great enthusiasm by all the classes from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. A large selection of
his popular books are available in our school library.
