World Book Day
Knockskeagh was filled with all sorts of wonderful characters from the world of books on Thursday 2nd of March.
As the saying goes, “Every book is a passport to a different world” and our pupils experienced some magical moments during our reading activity this year.
Our senior class pupils read a book for junior class pupils this year. Our classes were paired up as follows, 3rd Class pupils with Junior Infants, 4th Class with Senior Infants, 5th Class with 1st Class, and 6th Class with 2nd Class. This is always a lovely activity and pupils had great fun!!
The gallery below displays a snapshot of the colour and creativity on display.
