In Room 4 we all became authors, as we all wrote our own stories. We thought about the characters in the story, the setting for the story and something that was going to happen in the story before we started writing. We wrote the story and we drew an illustration for each page. We then gave our story a title and drew an illustration on the front cover. We are really enjoying listening to everyone’s...

Does anyone know what a mechanical engineer does? The children in Senior Infants could tell you.
