Well done to Killyleagh pupils for outstanding production

SIR, — I wish to record my thanks to the children of St. Mary’s Primary School and Killyleagh Primary School for the magnificent performance they gave on Thursday of the play Killyleagh — The Missing Centuries, written specially for them by Peter Morgan Barnes.

It was an absolute joy to watch the children perform and the hard work they had put in over the previous two weeks really paid off. 

Thanks also to Peter Morgan Barnes and the teachers of both primary schools. Great credit I feel also should go to the parents, grandparents, extended families of the children and the many public representatives who attended the performance.

The evening was a ‘masterclass’ in community relations and I was delighted subsequently to hear that the children are being asked to perform their play at Stormont. I am sure our MLAs will enjoy every moment of the performance.

Yours etc.,

KATE McGRILLEN,

Annsfield Park,

Killyleagh.
