Our 3rd classes went on their History field trip last Thursday and Friday in Dundalk. They did a guided walking tour of the murals around the town of Dundalk. They visited the following murals around the town:
Roesia de Verdun https://www.seekdundalk.ie/studio-giftig Park Street
The Morrigan https://www.seekdundalk.ie/copy-of-omin-peter-rice Park Street
Edward de Bruce https://www.seekdundalk.ie/copy-of-arthur-oner-epso Francis Street
Paul Kavanagh https://www.seekdundalk.ie/omin-paul-kavanagh Batchelors Walk
Setanta https://www.seekdundalk.ie/setanta-mister-copy Church Street
Cúchulainn https://www.seekdundalk.ie/smug-one-upcoming Patrick Street
Brigid of Faughart https://www.seekdundalk.ie/friz-upcoming Bridge Street
Many thanks to Seek Dundalk who accommodated the classes for this.
This learning experience gave the students an opportunity to appreciate the history around them in their locality making the subject more meaningful to them. They completed workbooks during and after the field trip to record the new information that they learned. They discussed the layout and different streets around the town.
