The month of November is reading month. The school encourages children and parents to get reading for the month. Activities in school will include book swaps, daily challenges, quizzes, an online book fair and paired reading. With regard to the paired reading infant parents will be invited to come in on Thursday mornings from 9.05-9.30 to read with their child.
On 29th November Laois Library will host story time to our Junior and Senior Infants from 9.30am-10.30am.
Welcome to Reading month!!
To promote engagement with and love of reading we are running a number of initiatives
in school during November. We hope that all children will benefit from and enjoy
