Rang 5/6 had the great pleasure on Wednesday afternoon of visiting St.Attracta’s Nursing Home in Charlestown as part of their Centenary Celebrations marking the Easter Rising.

Our students shared the story of how Ireland arrived at the point of rebellion in 1916 before the students shared their proclamation for a new generation with all gathered. This was followed by a playing and singing of our National Anthem and some musical pieces we prepared with Ms.Doherty, a lovely end to a special afternoon.

Sincere thanks to Tríona, the staff and residents at St.Attracta’s Nursing Home for their very warm welcome. Thank you also to Ms Doherty for all her help and to all our parents who helped with our visit. As always it was much appreciated.
