We had a great day in Galway on our school tour. Read about it below, and enjoy all the photos! Thanks so much to Shona and Michele English for coming with us.
4th Class Tour
On Monday 15th June 4th class went to Galway on a school tour . We left the school at 9:15am on a bus. We first went to Coole Park and got a tour around it. We looked at trees and wild garlic. We learned about Lady Gregory and W.B Yeates. Then we watched a video about Lady Gregory’s grandchildren. After learning a lot about Coole Park we had lunch in the picnic area. Then we played American football. And around 1 o ‘clock we headed for City Limits in Oranmore.
When we got there we were divided into two groups of 16.Our group first went on bouncy castles .They’re were 4 different bouncy castles. We had great fun on them. Then we did Laser Quest and were split into 3 teams. It was fun shooting other people. After that we did bowling , Brendan dented one of the balls. Next we had our meal. We had choices of pizza, burger, sausages and chicken nuggets with chips. We both had pizza and chips . It was delicious. We then went to the arcade and got a 5 euro credit card to spend . We both did a driving game. Then we came back to the school.

Our School Tour
When we arrived at the school at 9:00 the bus was waiting for us. We hoppd in and left at 9:15. We were all very exited on the journey and we were singing songs all the way up.
When we arrived at Coole Park, the girls and boys were spit up into two groups. The girls stared off inside and the boys started outside. Marget [the guide] took the girls and Aine [the other guide] took the boys. Magret showed the girls the history of Coole Park and Aine showed the boys around outside. And then we switched. After the tours we had our lunch in the Walled Garden.
We then hopped on our bus for our next journey. We went to city limits and were split into other two groups, [mixed boys and girls]. The first group started on the bouncy castles. There were 4 castles 2 with climbing frames and two with obstacles. The 2nd group were doing quasar they were split into three groups and were aginst each other.it was really exiting and it was dark inside. Then we switched. Then the whole class started playing bouling. It was great fun!
We were all feeling hungry so we went to the restaurant for a quick bite! The food was very tasty. It was laura butler’s birthday so wished her a happy birthday with a ricecrispie bun!
As we were leaving we went to the arcade we were all given 5 Euro to spend. We had a great time and went on the bus. We were back at 5:30. The school tour was fantastic and one we’ll never forget!!

School Tour 4th Class
First we went to Coole Park. Margaret and Aine were our tour guides. We watched a video of Anna and Catherine Gregory, who were children who lived in Coole house . We went upstairs to their nursery and played "hunt the thimble" . After that we went outside and we had to find leaves of different type of trees. We had lunch in the "Walled Garden" and played games for half an hour, then we got on the bus and headed for City Limits in Oranmore.
First at city limits we did quasar. We had to wear a pack that charged the gun. Each pack had a colour so when you were in the dark you could see who was on your team. After we had finished quasar, it turned out the yellow team won! After that we did inflatables there was slides and obstacle courses. Ms.Kirby went down the slide and she raced Caoilainn on the obstacle course! Then the whole class did bowling and it was great fun! Then we had a meal in the Jungle Restaurant it was delicious. It was Laura’s birthday so we had buns and we sang happy birthday! Then we played the games in the arcade, we had €5 on a card which we swiped on the games.
We had a brilliant day! Thank you Ms. Kirby.
