What did children like reading in the month of January?

These are just some of the books you recommended in our review space in the library during January.

Emma Boland recommended the BFG by Roald Dahl because it is very funny. 

Aoife Dam thought Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets was very good and very funny. She also thought it was suitable for all classes.

Arthur High King of Britain was recommended by Joshua Ogieva. He said it was about a boy meeting King Arthur and it was suitable for 5th and 6th classes.

Gareth found a book in The Famous People section about Anne Frank.

Camila Khan recommended David Walliams, The Boy in the Dress because it is short and funny.

Sara Rajewska gave 10/10 to Michael Morpurgo’s The Nine Lives of Montezuma. She said it was a sad but very good book.

How Kirsty Jenkins Stole the Elephant by Elen Caldecott is a book about teamwork and was recommended by Lolly Salu.

Trip to Glanmore

Today, our class (4th) went on a school trip to Glanmore foods to see where and how our tasty school lunches are produced. Alan Silver from Dublin Bus brought us over to the factory in Blanchardstown at 10am. We were given a guided tour of the factory and we got to see every step of the process used to make our lunches! We even got a chance to try making our own creations with the bread dough. When the tour ended, we were given a snack and Alan brought us back to school. We were even given a goody bags of treats each to take home!
