Oró, Sé Do Bheatha Bhaile

As a nation, we’re well able to give it socks when it comes to a good singsong.

Part of the craic is getting others involved and this is illustrated very well by the below video.

Finbar Burns, a pupil at Abbey CBS in Newry, recently travelled to southern Zambia on a trip organised by his school.

While there, the students met some local children and decided to teach them the classic Oró, Sé Do Bheatha Bhaile.

Speaking to JOE.ie, Finbar said: “The video takes place in Linda Community School. They were a grade 6 primary school class but their ages ranged from 10-17 years old.

“The class had 56 children in it… singing was the only thing that kept them in their seats, they were really great children and loved to learn”.

We couldn’t stop smiling at this, check it out below.
