Aghadrumsee Primary School was delighted to welcome parents and people from the wider school community, including governors and grandparents, into school on Friday, April 21 to foster connections across generations.
The school was awarded a grant for ‘All Ages April’ from Linking Generations NI which enabled people of all age groups to come together and form or develop friendships.
Elaine Brownlee from LGNI attended and was able to see first-hand the wonderful opportunity for people to come together and share skills, interests and knowledge.
The activities were able to be held outside in the beautiful spring weather and all participants were able to enjoy the newly created Nature and Nurture area, also facilitated through a grant from ‘Live Here Love Here’ and the result of much hard work from parents and governors.
A beautiful pair of butterfly wings were created under the creative direction of Ellie Annon, Ary Parties NI and are now displayed as a permanent reminder that people of all ages can ‘Open their hearts and minds like the wings of a butterfly’.
The P1 - P4 classes read to the visitors and then visitors were able to enjoy some refreshments and relax in the pollinator garden.
