Turning Back Time at the Heritage Park

Trip to the Heritage Park

On the 7^th November 2012 third and fourth class from Ms. Fitzgerald and Mr. Doyle’s room visited the Heritage Park. When we arrived we were greeted by Jimmy who was our guide for the day. We began by watching a short DVD in the Audio Visual room. The DVD showed us what Ireland was like long ago. It described such famous places as The Hill of Tara and Newgrange. We were now ready to learn more about the history of Ireland by beginning our tour of the park.

We began our tour by discovering how people lived almost 9,000 years ago. We looked at the houses they lived in and the food they ate. After this we saw how the first farmers survived and how dolmens were constructed. It was amazing! Our tour continued to the monastery and stone circle where Jimmy brilliantly described the central role religion played in the lives of people long ago. The final and most exciting part of our trip was next to come. Jimmy gave us the opportunity to pan for gold in the stream running through the park. It took some time to master the skill but we soon got the hang of it. He even let us keep some! 

Before we returned to school we were all given certificates for completing the wonderful tour of the park. It was a brilliant trip where we had great fun and learned lots of cool facts about the history of Ireland.
