We had our annual celebration of World Book Day today in Scoil Mhichíl Naofa.
The children were invited to dress up as their favourite book characters. We had everything from Gangsta Granny to Harry Potter and of course our very own Declan Kirby who is the main character in a series of books written by a teacher Mr. Egan in our school.
There were so many activities happening throughout the school such as table quizzes, designing book covers and tokens and discussing and writing about favourite books and more...
Some students from 5th class attended Athy town library for a Table Quiz. The winning team received book vouchers and there were prizes for all the attendees.
Every child in the school received Book Tokens prior to today that they can either get a select book for free or get €1.50 off a book of their choice.
It was a great day celebrating reading and the joy it brings to us all.
