Kada kaboom Arts comes to Le Chéile 😁🥁🎧🎼❗️
The children enjoyed five drumming sessions with the wonderful Kieran Gallagher. Four sessions were fun lessons during which they learned so many skills. The fifth session was a fantastic and entertaining performance for the rest of the school. Music lessons have never been so much fun !!!!
