World Book Day

 

This year, we will be celebrating World Book Day on the Thursday 6 March. On that day, children are invited to dress up as a favourite book character.

On World Book Day, we have a visitor - a local actor and award-winning story teller, Michele O'Brien - coming to school to work with the children. She will be 'performing' as different characters and involving the children in some drama as she takes them back in time through some history of the local area.
