On the 5th of April, Ms Meghan’s 4th class got ready for a big performance in the National Basketball Arena. The purpose of this performance was to show their family and friends their amazing voices by singing in the National Children’s Choir. They were joined by Ms Lennon’s 5th class and eight other schools.

It started at 8pm and ended at 9:30pm. Once they arrived they lined up outside the choir door, which was on the right side of the arena. They then walked into the arena and took centre stage. It was time for a once in a lifetime event! They sang their hearts out. While they were singing, they were not allowed to wear their jumpers and they had special ties to wear.

A man called Shane hosted the event and he also sang Dolly Parton songs such as 9 to 5 and Jolene. Speaking of songs, the choir sang 15 songs! My favourite one was “Don’t Stop Me Now”. After they sang all their songs, they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to the conductor Maireád Déiseach. Fourth class are very grateful for all of those who came and for Ms. Lennon for teaching them the songs since September.
