IT was an extra special day in Moyderwell on Thursday as grandparents got a chance to go back to school.
The return was prompted by Grandparents Day as part of Catholic Schools Week. The initiative encourages schools to invite grandparents of their pupils to come in to national schools to visit their grandchildren.
Along with grandparents, staff and pupils of 1st, 3rd and 5th class gathered in the schools gym at 11:15am for a Mass which was followed by poems the children read out and a song they all joined in on.
