Celebrating #WorldBookDay in @OldBawnCS with activities for both students and staff 📚🥳 Students engaged in a Drop Everything and Read in the afternoon, received their World Book Day tokens, and quizzed their teachers on their favourite books! 😍 A great day for everyone! 🌟

Staff were also encouraged to pick up a book for the day from the staffroom, and we also had staff recommendations on teacher's doors. Creating authentic discussions around the love of reading is our goal! 🌟 @OldBawnCS #WorldBookDay

Another Magenta moment today! Asked students to use only the materials on their desks to replicate what they could visualise after reading a chapter of our novel! After a few bewildering looks, they soon found their imaginations flying!! @MikeHughesETS @OldBawnCS

Take the small wins. They add up.

[Shannon Power @_ShannonPower]

Blown away by their creations! Very proud teacher moment 😍

Magenta Principles @MikeHughesETS used today in English class!🌟3rd years in @OldBawnCS assigned the task of changing information from one form to another. Take a verse from @SarahCrossan's Weight of Water and create a mood board that reflects the mood/content of that chapter!

[Shannon Power @_ShannonPower]

Such a fantastic day today taking our first step into the world of Magenta Principles with @MikeHughesETS. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and am really looking forward to the next two to come! 😊🌟 Big thank you to the @NAPD_IE for hosting this exciting CPD!
