Edwina Guckian has joined us in school for a couple of days this week as part of our Creative Schools work. Edwina has been teaching us about the Mummers and their traditions in this part of the country. We have been learning a few dances (some of us have even mastered the brush dance!) and today 4th-6th Class made their own Mummers straw hats.
We enoyed learning about the Mummers so much, we decided to set up our own Killeshandra Mummers group! Edwina is coming back next Wednesday and we are going to hold a special event in the Martin Memorial Hall, next door to the school. Everyone is very welcome to join us as we parade to the hall for a Summer celebration. Come along and see our amazing straw hats, join in with some dances and try your best to identify us in our costumes!
