IRISH HISTORY LIVE!

19/11/2014

 

On Friday, November 7th, the school had a visit from historian Michael Moylan. All classes got the opportunity to listen to Michael's stories and learn about a specific period in our history. These ranged from the Vikings through to World War 1 and World War 2, The talks were accompanied by a vast array of clothes, armour, helmets and weapons from various eras and Michael demonstrated  how these evolved over time. The highlight of the day for the older children was being allowed to try on the outfits and test the equipment. It truly was the past come alive! See the classes section for more entertaining photographs.
