Another fantastic morning with our lovely community members and P7 Grandparents at St Mary's, Macosquin for the second meeting of “Cuppa & Connect”.
On arrival we all enjoyed tea/coffee/ juice and tasty treats prepared and served by the lovely ladies! After this we listened to Peter Finch from Ashes To Gold Community and he discussed what they do for the environment. We also had the opportunity to ask him questions.
Then the children joined with the adults in groups to discuss two questions: (1) What do we like about Macosquin? (2) What could we improve in Macosquin?
Here are some of the suggestions:
