Sometime in the middle of October our class went to Beaumont House. Beaumont House was owned by the Guinness family. Richard Guinness, father of Arthur Guinness, had three sons including Arthur. Arthur married Olivia Whitmore and had 21 children 10 of whom lived. The entrance to Beaumont House was from Kilmore West until Arthur laid the present avenue linking the house with Goose Green. Goose Green Avenue, now called Grace Park Road, was named after a township in South East London. Arthur the second was born at St. James's Gate in 1768. Arthur the Second married his cousin Anne and had nine children. Arthur also had 40 nieces and nephews. After visiting Beaumont House we visited sister Madeline, a friend of Ms. Keogh's.

Our Visit to Sr.Madeline
At the start of the year we visited a nun named Sister Madeline .Sister Madeline used to teach Religion in
our school.Unfortunately she retired before we entered the Senior School .We thought it would be a good idea to give Sr.Madeline a gift .We separated into pairs and designed a calendar for every month of the year and wrote a prayer for each month too.A boy in our class named Aaron wrote an amazing poem about her.Sr.Madeline's gift turned out great.
On the day we were going on our vistit,everyone was buzzing with excitement.When we got there, our student of the week for that particular week, Dónal, presented the gift with great pleasure and then Aaron recited his poem.We also sang some songs for Sr.Madeline which made her smile.Just as we were about to leave we received some chocolate bars from Sister Madeline.All and all the day was great.
