Urbleshanny National School

This year, World Book Day in S.N. Iorball Sionnaigh was a combination of shared reading and a poetry recital, idir Bhéarla agus Ghaeilge. Our older pupils spent some time reading well-loved stories to our younger boys and girls. We also had a wonderful whole-school gathering in our new P.E. hall, for a celebration of poetry. Some of the poems recited included, Blackberry Picking, An Bháisteach, I saw my teacher on a Saturday, Ag iascaireacht, Anseo i lár an Ghleanna, Hope is a thing with feathers, to name but a few. We even had the opportunity to listen to some poems composed by our own pupils. How fortunate we are to have such budding poets in our school!
