Our annual visits to Oldcastle Library began on Friday October 7th when 3rd and 4th classes attended a workshop with children’s author, Alan Nolan. Alan shared some stories from his childhood and had the children laughing from beginning to end. He was very engaging with the children and his interaction with them was amazing. Alan also showed the children some of his illustrations and encouraged them to draw some of the characters from his books. We had great fun! Thank you Alan!!

Our 5th and 6th classes visited the library on Thursday October 13th where E.R Murray and Alan Early hosted their workshop. The students were brought on an imaginary journey through time, visiting the Viking era, the Middle Ages and also Georgian and Victorian times. They also had a multiple choice quiz to try and save themselves from the enemies of the times! Thanks a million to the authors for a great workshop!

Finally, our 1st and 2nd classes had a great workshop, on Friday 21st, with The Celtic Rap Scallions. There was some great signing and dancing on view and the children got introduced to some Canadian folk songs. Well done to everyone for taking part!
