We had a great time last Friday entertaining our Catalan guests, it was especially great to welcome back their teacher, Cormac Walsh, a past pupil and uncle of  Cliodhna in P5. Key Stage 2 pupils organised a special Assembly and our guests really enjoyed the singing, dancing, music and recitation. The Lord Mayor even popped in to say “Hola”and stayed to watch it all!

The pupils all aged 9-11, then joined our Key Stage 2 classes and judging by the level of noise, a lot of talking and sharing of information about their school and life in their city Barcelona took place.

Typical the boys just wanted to play football!!
