SCHOOL tOUR 2016
Our School tour this year was really enjoyable our first stop we went to Lough Boora Parklands where we met a basket maker called Padraig Larkin.
He showed us how he made all the arches from willow at the parklands. He also showed us how to make a small basket from straw and he had loads of items to show us that was made from willow.

We travelled to Clonmacnoise, where we got a visual video on the whole story of this early Christian site – including ruins of a cathedral, seven churches (10th–13th century), two round towers, high crosses and restored Gothic-style north doorway, often called the Whispering Arch, dating to the mid-15th century.
