Shauna's School Run - Trinity Primary School, Tuam
In our latest trip to primary schools across the country, Shauna from the show headed off to meet the students from 3rd class in Trinity Primary School in Tuam.
She spoke to Alicja, Annalise, Caitlyn, Diana, Dakshinaa, Elizaveta, Ethar, Gabrielly, Isabella, Jennifer, Liliana, Michaela, Noreena, Patricija, SammyJo, Tanisha and Zarifa.
Earlier in the week, we were chatting about the process of kidulting, which is when adults step back in time and do the things they enjoyed as children, to be more playful and spark creativity. Shauna asked the children what they thought about this and if they had any suggestions for adults listening.
There has been a lot of talk about aliens in recent weeks, with various sightings of UFOS across the world. Shauna asked the kids if they thought there was any truth in it and if aliens were real, what are they like?!
Thanks to Ms Lydon who organised the visit, Ms Atkinson who was acting photographer, principal Ms Burke, Secretary Kay who sorted out Shauna's lunch and to Ger who helped her park!
