World Book Day Celebrations 2023

World Book Day was a huge success here in St.Joseph’s Primary School. To celebrate World Book Day each child was given a World Book Day token to encourage reading . Every child could dress up as a favourite character from their favourite book and there was some fantastic costumes parading the school for the day . As a whole school we celebrated this day through a special announcement of DEAR time over the intercom . Classes were busy designing their own book covers as well as drawing their favourite characters . It was a positive experience for all and great effort was invested by parents, teachers and students . We all thoroughly enjoyed the day . Happy Reading !

The Stars Are Brightly Shining!

Well done to all the children in our school who each designed a star for our annual display in Gorey Shopping Centre. It looks wonderful! Be sure to visit and see if you can spot yours.

October in Room 1

Our aistear theme for October was the farm and the farm shop. At the small world station we set up our own farms. We were busy farmers harvesting fruit and vegetables, looking after the animals and driving our tractors. At the role play station we had a farm shop selling fresh produce from the farm. We played an animal memory game and enjoyed doing autumn and Halloween themed art. We also did some cut and stick activities.
