History is always so interesting... so when you add in some interactive fun, along with Mr. Fitzgerald's 3rd Class and Mr. Russell's 4th Class, you get a wonderful afternoon at the Waterford City Central Library in Lady Lane!

The annual Children's Book Festival can always be counted on for very enjoyable activities to bring books, reading, history - in fact, any subject - alive! The boys in 3rd and 4th were mesmerised for almost an hour as they heard about how World War I began, and all the major events that took place, along with a hint at the beginnings of World War II. To further heighten the enjoyment of an already fascinating talk, a lot of boys were chosen to play the parts of various historical characters. This meant some dressing up and posing with some weaponry!
