Our School Tour

On the third of June, my class and I went on our school tour.We had to be up at the school at about 8:20am because we were leaving at half past eight.For our school tour we went to a place called Sliabh na Caillighe.Our teacher Ms.Keogh had rented a bus for us to keep our stuff on the bus during the day.After everyone was settled on the bus, we set off on our journey to Sliabh na Caillighe which is in Co.Meath.Our first stop was at a small shop in Drumbaragh. We were allowed to buy sweets we also were able to have a toilet break!Our next stop was at Sliabh na Caillighe which means hill of the witch.It is a passage tomb that is just like Newgrange and it was built aroud the same time as Newgrange[actually before it!].It is kind of small and we were only able to fit 5 or 6 people into the tomb.While we were inside, the people on the outside were listening to stories about Sliabh na Caillighe and its history.Our next stop was at Ms.Keogh's mam's house.Mrs.Keogh gave us ice cream, wafers and penguin bars which was very kind of her.While we were there we played football,rugby or just sat around and talked.Our next and final stop was at Woodfield Open Farm.While we were there, we were allowed to pet and hold some animals.Dominic who was the man who owned the farm let us hold all of the puppies.We saw goats, horses,donkeys and pigs.On the way home we saw the Tower of Lloyd which is a folly that was built during the famine.We arrived back at the school at about 4:00pm. It was a really fun day.
