Our researcher Shauna headed off to meet a selection of students from first, second, and third class at Clocha Rince NS in Kildare and she spoke to Davy, Senan, Maisie, Isabelle, Jenny, Lucy, Ethan, Jayden, Charlie, Grace, Míchéal and Harley. I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is in full swing and the campmates are eating all kinds of gross things in the Bushtucker Trials.
