Remarkable Readers The Primary 2 children were very lucky to have a visit from author Kieron Black to our school this term. The children had the opportunity to listen to one of the books that Kieron has written. After the story, there was a chance for the boys and girls to become illustrators for the afternoon by following Kieron’s top drawing tips. The children thoroughly enjoyed this experience and all of the classes in the school were given a signed copy of Kieron’s book ‘The Goblin’s Blue Blanket’.Thank you Kieron for coming to visit P2. We had a great time!
ACCELERATED READING
CREDIT UNION QUIZ
Accelerated Reading has now been successfully in operation in St Teresa’s for two years now. On Tuesday 16th April, we held a parent workshop to ensure that parents had the opportunity to fully understand the programme, how it works and how it supports children’s independent reading. The workshop, which was led by Mr McCaughey and Mr Rodgers, was a great success with very positive feedback from the parents that attended the event. We hope that with parental support, children’s reading will continue to grow from strength to strength.
Congratulations to our Credit Union Quiz teams who came both First AND second in this year’s heats competition! The children proceeded to the next round and were tasked with answering challenging questions. We were proud with how well they represented our school and we were some impressed with their knowledge of all areas of pop culture and general knowledge. Well Done!
