However, all pupils from 2nd - 6th class were delighted to participate in a Christmas zoom call with St Brigid's Hospital, Shaen, Abbeyleix Community Nursing unit and St vincent's Hospital Mountmellick on friday, 18th December.
This idea was the brainwave of our Music Generation tutor, Nuala Kelly and Creative Ireland who was assisted by our other MG ukulele tutor Denise Boyle.
In weeks previous to the zoom the children became familiar with the residents and wrote them letters for Christmas. They also familiarized themselves with lots of the favourite songs of the residents and in line with guidelines issued by the DES we were all able to enjoy a very festive Zoom call together. A very special person 'Santa', also made an appearance and joined in also
Below are two Thank you letters received from two of the residences we communicated with.
Thank you so much to Nuala for involving us in such a worthwhile initiative and to herself and Denise for the support of everything musical in our school always.
