Tour 2019
On Thursday June 13th we travelled to Clonard House in Mulligar to experience what life was like in Victorian times. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who provided lovely tea and scones for the teachers on arrival, our guides for the day were Frances & Abbie. see slide show for a brief history of the house.
For the first part of our day the children dressed up in Victorian servant clothes and had chores to do around the house, milking, stacking turf, washing clothes, carrying water and collecting eggs. Have a look at our slideshow, lots of helpers for the bog this year!!!!!
Part 2 saw how the Lords and Ladies of the house lived, so we went in and dressed up in lovely costume (even Ms Norris and Ann) and were shown how to walk properly (had to practice with books on our heads), and what they would spend their evening doing. Have a look!!
The final part of our tour consisted of a walk around the grounds, then it was on to meet Tom who showed us how to make a hay rope, the children were amazed, they got to Limbo, skip, jump and pull tug of war with it. needless to say a great day was had all round. Have a look at our final pictures!!
Our teacher is Miss Norris, in First class there are 18 pupils 9 boys and 9 girls, in Second Class there are 8 pupils 3 Boys and 5 Girls.

Recount: Our School Tour by Katelyn
First and second class went on their school tour on the 15/6/16.
First I got out of bed a bit later than usual and got dressed. Then I done my hair in a pony tail and went down the stairs to eat my breakfast.
After we got in the car and drove to the bus stop and got on the bus.
Finally we arrived at school and I went into my class room. Next the teacher called the roll. Eventually we lined up and got on the bus. I sat beside Abby on the way to Nenagh and we sat two seats away from the front.
Thankfully we got to the fire station and Firefighter Darren and Firefighter Martin talked to us about fire safety.
After that we went out to see the fire truck. Me and my class got to see the inside of the truck. Then we went outside and sprayed everywhere with water.
Next we said goodbye and tank you to Darren and Martin and left the fire station. Eventually we arrived at Jump n Gyms and we went inside.
First we took off our shoes and put them in a basket. Then we went into the lunch room and ate some lunch. then I went out of the lunch room and played for an hour. I plated with everybody but mainly I played with Karla and Gráinne.
Eventually the hour was up and we went into the lunch room to eat the rest of our lunch. Then when we were finished our big lunch we went back out to play for another hour.
Later when the hour was up we had to go so we packed our stuff and lined up for the bus and a lady came out and gave us a lollipop and said thank you for coming.
Finally we got on the bus and headed home. In the end I got home and wish I could do my trip to Nenagh again.
