Living History Project in Junior and Senior Infants

Story-Telling in Junior and Senior Infants:

Past pupils of our school; who now have children themselves in either Junior or Senior Infants came to the classroom to share their memories of their primary school years.

After the parents told their story, the children got to ask lots of questions and also recorded their favourite part of their stories through art work.

Story 1:

Umar’s Mam Emma planted a tree when she was at this school.
