Thursday the 6th of March, the Junior Room had a wonderful opportunity to interview a postman, Mr. Ollie Stapleton from Roscrea Co. Tipperary @10am.
They heard all the about the day in the life of a postman & the pupils got to ask questions at the end of the Zoom call.
The pupils learnt about what time Mr. Stapleton starts his work at 4.30 am & what his job entails. They heard about a lovely customer who is 88, who doesn't have a mobile phone or even internet she receives post from her grandchildren across the world, new Zealand china etc. She gets a pink envelope from her granddaughters & a blue envelope from her grandsons, the post man is her only daily link to the outside world. She even has her own cow that she uses the milk.
He told our pupils that the day before he visited 1000 homes, he works one Saturday a month. They also got to meet his lovely dog Haka.
The boys & girls thoroughly enjoyed their interview.
A big Thank you to Mr. Ollie Stapleton.
