IRISH SOLDIERS VISIT O.L.V.

5/10/2015

On the 5th of October O.L.V. G.N.S  had some special visitors. They were Irish soldiers from the army. They came in a green van.

While they were on there we all waited quietly in the hall for them to arrive. We waited a good while for them to come, the reason why was because they got lost. When they got lost they only realised that Ballymun was such a big place.

When they arrived all of the teachers didn’t know what door they were coming through so there was teachers running around everywhere. They came in and introduced themselves. Some girls from 5th and 6th class, read the proclamation.
They also thought that the whole proclamation was a bit long, so, when they were finished one of the soldiers read the end.

After that 2 or 3 girls from each class asked some questions.
We learned some really interesting facts from their answers like things about the flag, their uniform and lots more. #INTERESTING

Then the whole school stood up and sang Amhrán Na bhFiann. The 5th and 6th also played the tin whistle. Then two of the youngest students took the flag.

It was a day to remember.
