We had our official opening on Friday. Queen Maeve led the parade. We all went into the hall and Ms. McFadden read us a story. She read us a little bit more of the story over the intercom each day. Every morning there was a book swap. you dropped in a book you read and got to pick a new one off the table. A journalist called Nicola Cooke from "The Sunday Business Post" spoke to us. Marilyn Taylor and Tom McCaughren told us why they liked being an author and what books they wrote. Martina Devlin, Fiona Kelly and Chris Binchey came in to see the other classes. Every class did paired reading. We read to Ms. Donnelly's first class. we made books and did some art all about reading and books. We also had a table quiz. There were 34 teams! Well done to the winners, team 10. They got a book voucher as their prize. every day at 12.00 we had D.E.A.R. which means drop everything and read. We had a great week. It was brilliant.
