Presentation of the Irish Flag

On Friday, 20th November all of the school gathered in the library because Sergeant Kennedy and Private Flynn were visiting Our Lady's. The two soldiers came to present us with a copy of the 1916 Proclamation and the Irish flag. Isabelle and Thomas received the gifts and Kealy read the fourth paragraph from the Proclamation.
Sergeant Kennedy told us that all of the schools in Ireland will raise the flag at 12pm on March 15th.
Sergeant Kennedy spoke for 12 minutes. When he asked questions we answered them all correctly so we don't have homework on Monday. At the end we all stood up and sang Amhrán na bhFiann. Then we got to ask the two soldiers some questions.
