HISTORY WEEK






















          BALLYJAMESDUFF


                   MUSEUM

       On  Wednesday, 8th of March the Royal School first
       years went on a history trip to Cavan County Museum
       in Ballyjamesduff.  When we arrived, we were welcomed
       and escorted upstairs where we were given a  WWII
       commemoration lecture.   The children in the year
       were given the chance to handle replicas of soldiers’
       uniforms and equipment.
       After the presentation, we were given an interesting
       tour of a WWI replica trench.  We were given an insight
       into how the soldiers lived.  We were also lucky enough
       to visit a replica of the GPO in 1916.  The first years left
       the museum mind-boggled with all the interesting
       facts.  On the way back to school, we stopped at a
       shop to buy some snacks.  All in all, it was a fun and
       educational trip.
