Some well-known fairytales will come alive when the St. Boniface Nursery School, Sion Hill, St. James, hosts its Book Character Day programme and Open Day on Thursday, June 7, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Book Character Day is intended to stimulate an interest in reading among students, improve their speech skills and build self-esteem.
Students’ artwork and craft, as well as giant-sized books created by the teachers, will also be on display as part of the Open Day exhibition. Members of the public are invited.
