Mr. Russell's 5th Class were invited to Waterford City Library on Friday, April 20th, to a talk about famous Irish explorer Tom Crean. The boys met author Michael Smith, who wrote "Tom Crean - Ice Man" and "Shackleton - The Boss". Michael told the group stories about Tom Crean and his amazing adventures, as well as showing many unseen photographs. He also took questions at the end of the talk. Mr. Fahy and Mr. Russell were star struck! They enjoyed the talk as much as the boys and were delighted to meet the man behind "Tom Crean - Ice Man" which is one of our class novels in St. Stephen's. Thanks to Caroline at Waterford City Library for inviting the class, and to Michael Smith who was very good with our boys. Check out some photos in the mini gallery below:
