This week the children listened to this poem after which our blog is named. It was composed by John O'Brien and tells about the Bishop's visit to the parish country school where the children were so busy in their life and their life was so different to the Bishop's and those of city children that when asked about December 25th and why it was important, the youngster gives a fact not expected by the Bishop!
This poem had lots of descriptive language and we were easily able to imagine what the schoolhouse, the bishop and the boy looked like.
Maybe some of the Year 5/6 classes could find out about John O'Brien for us!!
