6th Class went on their second school tour of the year last Friday, April the 8th. We left the school at 8:20am and our first stop was the Museum at Collins Barracks.

Our next stop was the Arbour Hill Cemetery where we met UN Peace Keeping veterans from Ireland and Norway. One of them spoke to us about the history of the cemetery and about the 14 leaders of the Easter Rising buried there.

We continued our day at the Wax Museum Plus in the city centre. There was a great variety of characters there and some of them were really convincing.

Our last stop of the day was to the Pearse Museum in Rathfarnam. We had planned to play hurling and football in the beautiful grounds there but we couldn’t because of the inclement weather. We visited the museum and the nature rooms beside it. Afterwards we treated ourselves to ice-cream and treats in the coffee shop and headed home. A great day was had by all.

Our next tour will be to Dunmore Adventure on Thursday the 2nd of June.
