On Friday, 15th March 2013, the school welcomed Irish author, Martina Murphy to further support literacy development in our school. Martina’s visit coincided with our “Green Day” for St. Patrick’s Weekend which made it all the more enjoyable and of course memorable for the children! During the day, the children actively engaged in storytelling and drama workshops with Martina.
Martina presented each pupil with a Certificate of Achievement to acknowledge their own literature in our “We are Writers” Book!

Thank you Martina for sharing your work with us and in so doing, encouraging the children to further engage in all aspects of literacy!
The boys and girls in 1st , 2nd and 3rd really enjoyed Martina’s visit. I really enjoyed the children’s production of “The Enormous Turnip”. A great workshop, especially when we are focusing on the Literacy Strategy this year 🙂
My class really enjoyed listening to Martina and participating in her drama workshop. They were very proud of their “We are Writers Certificate” which Martina so kindly presented to all the children in our school 🙂
And I really loved my day there too:)
