KH students and staff recently came together to celebrate World Book Day with a week full of creativity, fun and literary enthusiasm. The school was buzzing with activity as students engaged in a variety of book-themed events designed to inspire reading and storytelling.
Throughout the week, students visited the library to take part in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”, an interactive activity created by Ms McAlister Smyth. Participants solved riddles representing four different book characters and enjoyed spotting their favourite literary icons. The library also hosted the annual Bookmark Design Competition, which saw imaginative entries from students across all year groups.
Thursday featured exciting highlights, with Junior Cycle students attending Chapel to hear the winners of the February Fables Writing Competition announced. The whole school gathered during morning break to listen as winners read their work aloud, celebrating the creativity and talent of their peers. Meanwhile, TY students participated in a Murder Mystery Writing Workshop hosted by author Alison Weatherby, exploring suspense and storytelling techniques.
On Friday, third-year students competed in the Annual Vocabulary Bee Final in the Wilson Wright Hall, demonstrating their language skills and competitive spirit. Adding to the excitement, faculty and staff dressed as book-related characters, creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere throughout the school.
The week was a wonderful celebration of literature, creativity and community spirit. KH is proud of all students and staff who contributed, proving that the love of reading and storytelling extends far beyond a single day.
