Author visits Room 13

4th Class in Room 13 had a wonderful time learning about Ireland and Dublin in 1911 with author, Sarah Webb. Sarah quizzed us on what life was like for children in 1911 and then read an extract from her beautiful book “The Little Bee Charmer of Henrietta Street” for us.  We really liked how this story is based in Rathmines and around the city. Thank you to Rathmines Library for organising this for us!
