The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed a St Patricks Day assembly lead by Principal Donagh McKillop. During the assembly it was explained to the children who St Patrick was and what he became famous for, the children also heard the explanations of the various symbols and signs associated with Ireland (Shamrock, Harp, The Blarney Stone, The Claddagh Ring, Shillelagh). The highlight of the assembly was Mr McKillop donning traditional Irish dress and performing his all-famous Irish dance He also gave the children a rendition of how to play the Bodhran – an Irish drum.
Happy St Patricks Day!
