Shauna's School Run - Navan Educate Together

In our latest trip to primary schools across the country, Shauna from the show headed off to meet the students from 5th class in Navan Educate Together in Co. Meath. She spoke to Ella B, Michele, Zak, Taidgh, Aaliyah, Ella C, Jamie, Jack, Logan Teagan, Lailah, Carolina, Sophie, Áine, Fiona, Brody, Muireann, Ethan, Síne, Matthew, Muhammad, Anastasija and Elisabeta. With St Patrick’s Day coming up, Shauna asked the kids what they thought Ireland was famous for all over the world, be it a person, place or thing. She also asked them about something more topical....The Mullet. You may have noticed that the mullet has made a comeback and in fact, they are now deemed quite fashionable so Shauna asked the children for their honest opinions... Thanks to Ellen Cummins who organised the visit and to all the teachers and SNAs who make it such a special place.
