FS have really enjoyed our story this week: Farmer Duck. We have been focusing on our retrieval & coding skills by drawing pictures of the story & trying to re-tell in as much detail as possible. Here is an example. We are very proud teachers! #FarmerDuck #MartinWaddell #quack

Martin Waddell & Eilín de Paor at the Irish Book Awards. Strategically placed books emoji sticker due to (I now realise) a too-low neckline 😳.

Still thinking about #MartinWaddell & his lifetime achievement award at last night’s #APIBA #IrishBookAwards . I was not familiar with him, but should have been, having devoured his Catherine Sefton books as a child & read his picture books to my own kids. A charming person & accomplished author!
