Visit to the National Gallery of Ireland and KPMG Children’s Book Awards

We were delighted to be invited to the KPMG Children’s book awards in Merrion Park today. Congratulations to all the nominees and to the winners! This was a wonderful event with amazing synopsis of each books by young people and we got to meet amazing Irish authors and illustrators. Thank you to all involved in the organising for making us feel welcome and for providing an ISL Interpreter for us making this event fully inclusive. We look forward to reading some of these wonderful books @KidsBooksIrel@KPMG#ReadingHeroes

Some of our students visited the National Gallery of Ireland today to see the new Cezanne painting ‘Life in the Fields’. We were delighted to have deaf tour guide Susan Whelan. Susan brought us on a fantastic tour of Picasso, Monet, Cezanne, Paul Coleman and, we even got to see deaf artist Avercamp. Thank you Susan for giving this tour and for inspiring our students. You never know? Maybe one day one of the students will become an Art tour guide! @NGIreland@susiewoosie77
