Our Senior Infants and Ms. Walsh are very excited about their Storytime Programme which starts today, Monday for 20 weeks.
Each child will take home a new book , every Monday and Thursday, to share and enjoy at home with a Parent/Guardian. By the end of the 20 weeks, each child will have brought 40 books home and shared ‘StoryTime’ with their family.
On Friday morning last, Senior Infant Parents were invited to The Parents’ Room to chat to Ms. Browne, to find out more about the Programme and to have a cuppa. We chatted about the importance of spending a few minutes every evening with our children, looking at a book – talking about the pictures, the characters, imagining a different endiong to the story etc.
We were then treated to a fabulous story by Ms.Grimes, who read to the Senior Infant Class in The Library.
We all loved the book ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’ – thank you Ms. Grimes.
Remember to put away the phones and devices, find a quiet spot in your house and enjoy the book with your child.
Thursday is World Book Day and our Book Fair starts on Wednesday – the excitement is huge!! We love books and love to read – the greatest gift we can give our children is the gift of reading!
