More than 100 pupils from St Joseph's School made a special visit to The Millennium yesterday, where they were entertained for the afternoon by The Wonky Donkey author Craig Smith.

Audience participation was high on the agenda as Smith encouraged sing-alongs to many songs, including All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth, Toothless, Willbee the Bumblebee and, of course, The Wonky Donkey.

St Joseph's deputy principal Lisa Bailey said Smith's show at The Millennium was perfect timing for the school, which was holding its Scholastic Book Fair.

Children and parents had the chance to purchase books before or after school, with a percentage of the sales allowing St Joseph's to purchase new books for its library.

The book fair aimed to ignite a passion for literature in the children.

The junior syndicate visited the library this week and all the school's pupils were being encouraged to dress as their favourite book character for school on Friday.
