Today marks the official opening of the new extension at Dromindoora National School.
Éamon de Buitléar the famous Irish natural history film-maker was to cut the ribbon (read more about him HERE)
In preparation, the pupils did a lot of project work on nature topics including native plants, birds and butterflies, colourful wall displays, as well as dance and music for the grand opening.
Typically after a lovely week, opening day was heralded by torrential rain as we all packed into the marquee for the speeches..... It did however clear up in time for the children to make full use of the bouncy castle.
After the last paper cup had been swept up, the stragglers retired to the pub next door for "a quick pint"...... for the next 4 hours.
