We welcomed our grandparents into our classroom today to celebrate Grandparents’ Day as part of Catholic Schools Week.
The boys were so excited to see their grandparents in their classroom and they interviewed them to find out more about their grandparents as children.
We even discovered that we had a Granda who spent his last year at HCB in our very classroom, room 14. He reminisced with the boys about where he sat, and how he would answer the phone on the corridor and help his teacher out at the bike shed.
Thank you to everyone who made today so special for the children - a lovely moment they’ll not forget!
