PRIMARY school students across the region delved into the pages of their favourite stories to celebrate Book Week last week.
This year’s theme, Books Light Up Our World, saw a multitude of literary characters come to life, including the ever-popular Roald Dahl and Dr Seuss creations, plus plenty of cowboys and fairies.
St Mary’s Primary School students — including Maddy Coffey as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Hugh Langley-Sheldrick as a mad scientist — converged on the gym for the annual Book Week parade, and classroom activities continued the bookish fun throughout the day.
