Our School Tour

What I liked was when we got to use the weapon and armour. The shield was particularly heavy.The sword was light.It must have been very hard to run with all that armour on and with the weapons on.I enjoyed carrying the armour to see how heavy it was.I liked the Fulachta fia and the feeling of how heavy the armour  was in the viking house. Overall everyone really, really enjoyed themselves and would love to go again.

Gillian Purdue's Visit

On the 15th of June 2012 the author Gillian Perdue visited our school.
She visited our school because we had been reading her book Adam's Starling in our classroom.
She told us about her inspiration for the book which was fear.
We all talked about our fear's such as the Boogie man and the closet monster.
She then told us about her other stories such as Conor's cowboy's suit which was based on her little brother Conor and another of her books called salvage girl which took 4 years to write but she was unable to publish it.We were then all made to do some drama, we acted out

School Tour

On Tuesday 25th of June,we all went on our school tour.We went to the Heritage Park in 
Co.Wexford.Our guide,Damien,was dressed as a Viking. He was very knowledgable about the different types of plants and trees around the park,as well as the history.





The park was very well made.  My favourite place was probably the fort or  the farm.


Most of the houses were very small but some of the houses were big.The roofs of
the houses were thached it was very dark in the houses.I hope we can go again.
It was great!


I enjoyed the exploration of the houses.I also enjoyed when
Eminhin and Nicole dressed up in the viking clothes.Ireally enjoyed this trip.
