Grandparents’ Day in Positive Ageing Week in St Mary’s National School, Carrigaline
St Mary’s Church of Ireland National School, Carrigaline, County Cork, held a special ‘Grandparents’ Day’ during Positive Ageing Week recently.
The children were asked to invite their Grandparents into the school for refreshments and to visit their classrooms. Those whose grandparents couldn’t be with them on the day were encouraged to bring along photos to be displayed in the Canon McCrea Hall.
The staff were also encouraged to display photos of their own grandparents. All of the classes did some kind of artwork project for viewing in the Hall while visitors were having a cup of tea and it was altogether a marvelLous gathering.
Well done to Ms Elliffe, the principal, for her innovative idea and to all the teachers and special needs assistants for their help on the day.
