Our
Trip to Dublinia
|
At the beginnig of June
2002 Seomra Conn packed their bags, filled their lunch boxes, piled
onto buses and headed into town to visit 'Dublinia' in Christchurch
in Dublin. "We got a bus from school to Dublinia. When we got there
we had a little snack. Then we took pictures of all the class. Then
we went inside and we went into a dark room and we had a look at
all the mannequins. We went downstairs with Aran. We saw a knight.
Sean gave me a fright when I was standing beside the knight. I got
a picture with the knight." (Jean)
| "It was all about History.
It was very interesting. Downstairs there was this green
jug and after the people drank from it they got very
sick & died. Nobody knew what happened until years later
scientists found out. The green jug was made from lead.
My teacher took pictures on the class outing to Dublinia. |

In Dublinia
there was lots of manikins dressed as people. There was a
small shop upstairs. We had a lady guide named Teresa, she
was very nice to us. Teresa showed us around the place. The
was 2 more mannequins that was playing a game I Mistook one
of the children for someone in the school." (Claire) |

I had
a great time at Dublinia. Dublinia is in the city centre.
Teresa was our guide. We saw a skeleton called Brigid. Teresa
did not know her real name. Teresa told us all about the Black
Plague. " ( Aishling) |
| "Our class
went on a trip to Dublinia. Then we had a little snack.
We went inside at 11:30 and we met a man called Aran.
He showed us into a dark room where we saw a knight
and the street stalls with a growling dog. We got into
the lift to go to the next floor. We met our guide who
was called Teresa. She showed us what a rich man's house
was like and the type of plates and jugs they had 1,000
years ago." (Michael) |

"Tereasa our guide showed
us around upstairs. I saw a Viking village. We were
in a Viking ship. The houses were made out of grass,
blood and horse hair. There were rats and maggots
in the walls! The dark room was cool because there
was a knight standing inside the door. I also enjoyed
the boat because you could hear the water."
