Children spent their library time listening to Irish myths and legends. They particularly liked the one about the giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool).

and singing 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling'.

AUTHOR VISIT

Author Chris Lam Sam and illustrator Angela Keoghan,

co- creators of 'Inspector Brunswick: The Case of the Missing Eyebrow' came into see

Years 1 and 2 this week.

We were treated to a fabulous interactive 

Read-along

Draw-along &

Book-signing

'Inspector Brunswick' is a funny and charming picture book about the world's greatest cat detective and his loyal assistant, Nelson.

The children had a special ‘expressions’ drawing workshop from Angela Keoghan. They learnt how eyebrows alter facial expressions. Using Angela’s very own artwork they all got to try to make the Admiral’s expression change. The children made the face happy or sad, inquisitive or surprised, cheeky or sneaky. So much fun!

Both children and staff had a fabulous time.
