Warning! Escaped characters!
Once Upon a time (Thursday, March 6th to be precise), chaos erupted in the land of Scoil Thomáis when the castle of Princess Geraldine was stampeded by famous characters from books and stories. Princess Geraldine reported that the characters seemed to be multiplying before her very eyes. Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, Babe the Pig, the Mad Hatter, the Wolf, Rowley, Nikki, Katniss and many others tried to lure Geraldine deep into the pages of their books. In the end she was rescued by a handsome prince called Eamon. Prince Eamon reported that he was happy to rescue the fair and beautiful princess but that he had actually been searching for a pesky goblin called Wally. If you should find Wally, Prince Eamon will reward you…err…handsomely!
Character dress-up in Room 15
Room 18 reading for Room 3 during Book Week
On Tuesday, March 4th, the sixth class students in room 18 went on an adventure to room 3 where they found a class full of senior infants who were eager to be entertained. Luckily room 18 had brought a treasure trove of wonderful picture books with them…
One student from each class in the school was interviewed by room 18. What makes these students so amazing? THEY LOVE TO READ!!! The results of the interviews are on display outside the library. Many thanks to the students for sharing their thoughts about their favourite books of all time.
The pupils in Room 15 (3rd class) recently visited Room 9 (junior infants), where they read stories and told each other about their favourite books.
