On Friday 9th of October we welcomed 3 members of the Irish Army to our school. Captain Bridget Clarke along with Neil Mc Bride and Denis Kelly came to present us with our National Flag. The short ceremony included the reading of an extract of the Irish Proclamation of 1916 by Lexie. Daisy accepted the flag from Neil Mc Bride on behalf of the school and Seamus was presented with a special pack which included a copy of the 1916 proclamation and a certificate for the school. Captain Clarke explained to the children about the work of the Irish Army and she then asked some questions about Easter 1916 and the National flag, which the students had no trouble answering as they have been learning all about it in class. The ceremony finished with a rendition of Amhrán na bhFiann.
