Book Club

In our school's book club is like a big, happy adventure with friends and stories! We all come together to talk about cool books and share what we think. It's not just about reading by ourselves; it's about enjoying stories together and having lots of fun. We laugh, get surprised, and cheer for our favourite parts as a group. The book club helps us love reading more, and we even get to be creative by drawing, writing, or discussing our favourite scenes. It's not just about the stories; it's about how we think and feel about them. And guess what? It's a break from screens, giving us time to enjoy real books and make awesome memories that we'll remember for a long, long time! 📚✨

We looked at education throughout different time periods; Pre-Christian and Christian Times Early Irish Monastic Schools Hedge School – 17 th  & 18 th  Century National Schools in the 19th Century We explored in detail School 100 Years Ago. Here is a summary of all we learned, through examining photographs, memoirs, artifacts, roll-books and school reports: Life in Irish Schools was very different 100 years ago. There were no computers, CD players, gel pens or markers. Many schools were small; often they had only one room. There was no running water and the heat came from a fireplace behind the teacher’s desk. Taking care of the schoolhouse was everyone’s job. Families took turns sending wood to the school for heating.
