Breakfast Buddies - Hug Your Book Event

Here is some news from our HSCL, Mrs C. Kenny

Breakfast Buddies – Hug Your Book Event

Date: 15.05.2024

Location: The Dolmen Hotel, Carlow.

On Wednesday the 15 the Family Learning, KCETB marked our first event

which brought groups from Kilkenny and Carlow together to celebrate a

‘Hug Your Book’ themed Breakfast Buddies morning.

The date of 15.05.24 was chosen as it also marks International Day of the

Family. Buses were arranged for Hug Your Book course participants and

their ‘Breakfast Buddies’ on the day.

Groups travelled from 8 schools throughout Carlow and Kilkenny and we

were delighted to welcome 44 parents & guardians along with their Home

School coordinators to join the fun!

The morning was facilitated by Hug Your Book creator Lana McCarthy.

Each participant received a beautiful new book to take home along with a

resource pack and gifts.

We chose ‘You’re Called What?’ by Kes Gray, which had lots of fun

learning opportunities. During the morning, we looked at different reading,

writing, and talking activities that encourage and support children in their

learning.

Teachers and parents attend the event, at the Dolmen Hotel. Mrs Kenny and one parent attended the Breakfast Buddies event.
