Jamie Lomax (6th class) and Aisling Lynch (6th class).
Grandparents’ Day was celebrated on the 31st of January in Windgap hall. It was to celebrate what great grandparents we have and they were invited to come down to the parish hall for our servce.
The Failte Team welcomed our guests to the service, asked them to sign the special guest book, recommended good seats for people and had a little chat with them. Our Failte Team were Jack, Robert, Leah and Aisling. It was as packed as the All Ireland final.
We sang songs during the service. Our first song was ‘We sing a song to Brigid’ to celebrate St Brigid’s Day on Friday. Then we sang 'May we love you' while the infants handed up their writing or colouring to Sean and Oscar to put it in our sacred space. Our last song was called ‘For just a little while’ because the lyrics were really suitable and people said the singing was as sweet as birds singing.
There were a lot of readings and poems and I know some grandparents started blushing when they recognised themselves in the poems. We had readings from 3rd and 4th class. Mrs Lowry welcomed parents and grandparents to Grandparents’ Day. Mrs O'Shea told us how important the bond between children and their grandparents is. Patrick and Kyle O'Callaghan’s grandad spoke about what his faith means to him.
The turnout for grandparents day was a success. There was a lot of chit chat going on. People gave praise to the people who did readings or read poems and said they did brilliantly and told the teachers how it was so cleverly coordinated and that they had a great day.
The food down in the hall was lovely. The buns looked really nice and everyone got a bun and a biscuit and a lovely hot cup of tea. It looked like everyone was enjoying themselves.
