Was there ever a day that didn’t turn out quite as you expected? Well Grandparents’ Day was one of those days. But not in a bad way.
Firstly we had planned a mass for Key Stage 2 and an assembly for Key Stage 1. We honestly expected @ 20 to 30 Grandparents. Boy were we wrong as over 200 swarmed the school. Some came very long distances just to be here. The atmosphere in the school was so cosy and relaxed. It was just wonderful.
Poor Miss Harkin was run off her feet making tea but she managed brilliantly.
Some of the grandparents visited the classes and shared their experiences with the children. And, of course, the children were bursting to show off their classrooms and “their wee world” to all the grannies and grandfathers.
Let’s have more days like this! Next time we’ll be ready!
