SQUEEZE IN A READ!!

Irish libraries, Children’s Books Ireland, NALA, booksellers and others are partnering once again to get the whole country reading this month in the lead up to Ireland Reads Day on Saturday, 25th of February.

We are asking everyone to pledge to ‘squeeze in a read’ – whether that’s reading a book, a newspaper, a comic – whatever works grabs your interest!

We have made a pledge as a school that all pupils from 1st – 6th class will read for 15 minutes per day, each afternoon between 2pm and 3pm, commencing from Tuesday 21st to Fri 24th Feb and will encourage all parents and pupils to also read for at least 15 minutes on Sat 25th as well as part of the initiative above.

Please take some pictures over the next few days of your child and family reading and send them to us on our email @ schoolofficeredcross@gmail.com before Monday 27th Feb to allow us to send these on and share them on our website
