On the 24th of November 6th Class were invited to visit Trinity College Dublin as part of College Awareness Week. We got the DART from Greystones at 9.30 in the morning and went to Pearse Street Station. We walked across to Trinity College where we met a lady named Catherine. Catherine gave us a tour of Trinity College, we saw the gym and the climbing wall, the gardens, the rugby pitch and the museum building which had marble pillars from every county in Ireland. We also went to the library where we saw some really old editions of the book Alice in Wonderland. After that, Catherine took us to see the Book of Kells and the Long Room, they were amazing. There are over 200,000 first edition books in the Long Room, it looks like a room from the Harry Potter movies. When we had finished, we went to the Arts Building where we ate our lunch. There were lots of college students around having lunch and working on their laptops. We went back to Pearse Street DART station and took the 1.30p.m. DART back to Greystones. It was a great day and we hope we can get to study in Trinity or another college like it when we are older. Thanks to Catherine for giving us the tour, to Ms Hurley for organising the visit and to the parents who came with us. Here is a photo of us on the stairs of the Museum Building.
