Our School Tour

We went on our school tour on the 25th May 2011. We went on a viking barge on the Shannon and we went to Clonmacnoise. There was a small shop on the barge. All the snacks were a euro. A sword, shield and a helmet was a bargain at €5.We also had a talent show on the Barge. We got to see how the lock works. The boat ride was an hour and it was fun.

Next we went to Clonmacnoise. The bus ride was quick to Clonmacnoise. On the bus we sang songs. In Clonmacnoise we watched an audio visual (movie) about the place. The tour guide told us about the round tower, the three crosses, St. Ciaran’s Oratory and the grave stones. We learned that a round tower always faces the biggest church in the whole monastery.

There was also gift shop and snack shop.
