We had a great time celebrating World Book Day 2015 in St. Stephen's! All the festivities were planned to open up the benefits of reading to everyone - and everyone had a great time all week as every class celebrated books, reading and all that goes with it!

* Author Visit: Author Martin Brennan visited St. Stephen's on March 5th to talk to the 4th, 5th and 6th Classes about the writing process, the life of an author - and how to make writing (and reading!) interesting!

* Sharing Favourite Reads: World Book Day 2015 was the perfect opportunity for the boys in 4th Class to bring in their favourite books and share some information about them with the rest of the class! There was a massive variety of books on show, ranging from science to football, Wimpy Kid to Dinosaurs, to the scary stories from Darren Shan to the always popular Harry Potter!
