On Thursday the 5th of March, the girls in St. Brigid's celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as characters from their favourite books. There were some amazing costumes worn and many of the children even made their own costumes.  Some classes also brought in their favourite books to share with others. While some of the older classes joined the younger classes for some paired reading.  Other classes engaged in art activities and English lessons where they explored books further. It was a fun-filled day for all the classes.

On Tuesday and Wednesday Junior and Senior Infants went on a tour to Imaginosity, the children's museum in Sandyford. The classes left very early in the morning and went on a double decker bus which they thought was very exciting. In Imaginosity, the girls participated in an engineering workshop and had great fun engaging in role play activities which included working in a restaurant, a supermarket, a post office, building a house, working on television and lots more. They had experienced some of these activities previously through Aistear  but also had the chance to try out lots of different activities too. It was a great experience for all the children and the classes really enjoyed their tour.
