Djembe drums
Today we had the pleasure of Ronan coming in to do drumming with Djembe drums from West Africa. Everyone found their beat and pulse and really enjoyed the drumming!🪘😀
We would like to thank the Pushkin Trust for funding this session.
Hurling Blitz
Our Senior Classroom recently took part in a Primary School hurling blitz with Ronan McGrory in the Scarvey. We had great fun trying out our hurling skills and a big thank you to Ronan for organising this.
