Harold Boys NS in Dalkley opened in 1901, and they are getting ready for its 125th anniversary. The school will be singing, planting a tree and raising a new flag to mark the big occasion as well as much more, so Cathal went along to check it out!

The country's beekeepers say Asian hornets remain a major threat to honeybees and other pollinators in Ireland despite the destruction of two nests discovered in Co Cork last summer. Jennie O'Sullivan has the report.

There's lots more content from the show, including an archive, on the news2day website.
