To begin our St. Patrick’s Day and weekend celebrations Mr McElroy delivered an assembly which the children displayed their wonderful talents of singing, traditional music and Irish dancing. The running order for the day started with our instrumentalist group showcasing their wonderful talents playing Irish tunes on the tin whistle and guitar. The rest of the staff and pupils were treated to tunes including McAlpine Fusiliers, Flat Water Fran, Drunken Sailor, Rattlin Bog and The Irish Rover….Amazing!
A huge well done to our Primary 1-7 pupils on each of their class performances.
P1 - The Leprechaun Dance and Molly Malone P2 - Oh my Johnny and Lord of the Dance P3 - Galway Girl and All on St. Patrick’s Day P4 - I Tell Me Ma and Rattlin Bog P5 - Hail Glorious St. Patrick and When I grow up I want to play County / Oooh Ahh GAA P6 - Amhrán na bhFiann agus An Haka Gaelach P7 - Irelands Call and St. Patrick’s Flame
We all came together at the end and the whole school sang Ireland's Call and Amhrán na bhFiann to conclude our celebrations. We had a great day celebrating our Irish Culture and our Patron Saint.
Huge congratulations to all involved and thanks to all our families for the great efforts to turn our boys and girls out in their ‘Glas’ (green). We wish all our school community a very Happy, Peaceful and Joyful St. Patrick’s Day.
