We have been working with Dromore Rd. PS in a Shared Education capacity for many years now. Unfortunately, this year due to the world wide pandemic, we have been unable to have any face to face contact between the pupils of both schools. However, we didn’t want this to hamper our work together and set about working on a shared project that we could complete while staying apart. Therefore, the children from P3-P7, decided to use photographs from our past activities together, to design Christmas cards, which could be shared with the staff and residents of our local care homes to help spread some Christmas cheer.
We appreciate that the residents, like many others across the country, are one of the groups who have suffered most throughout these uncertain times. Many of the residents may not have seen family members and friends for many months now. At this time of year especially, we think of friends and family. The children in both schools have come to appreciate how residents in our local care homes might be feeling at this time of year. They have produced beautiful Christmas cards and included some personal messages and illustrations in the hope that it might add to the Christmas cheer in the care homes in our own and neighbouring communities.
