Year Four were thrilled to have our own resident Northern Irish national, Mrs Keenan, visit them on Monday. Cloaked in green, Mrs Keenan was keen to share her extensive knowledge of the life of St Patrick, the patron saint of her homeland Ireland, with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our visual tour around the Emerald Isle and heard much about the history of the land. In fact, as you can see – we learnt so much! Thank you Mrs Keenan.
