Trip to Imma

Our visit to the modern art gallery

Last Thursday, we visited the Irish museum of modern art. We went on the luas to Hueston station and then walked up to the museum. The luas cost us one euro fifty for a return ticket.
When we got there we were split into two groups and shown around by two guides.
We saw a lot of different types of modern art and sculptures. I loved the moving curtain. It was made of silk and a motor twirled it around. You could go inside and feel the breeze. I thought the sculpture with the crystals and the coals was the best. It was like a river flowing out of a box.
Afterwards, they gave us some art materials so that we could make our own sculptures. Mine looked like the world cup.
I really enjoyed this trip. It was brilliant. I’d go back there again.

Our trip to Bull Island

Yesterday our class went on a trip to the North Bull Island. Our whole class, Ms. Wrynne, Mr. Bailey and Niall went aswell. We were going there to find out about the wildlife there and about renewable energy.
We got the 130 bus at the North Strand clinic. It didn’t leave us right at the centre and we had to walk for about twenty minutes. When we got to the interpretive centre, Pat talked to us about the different habitats, wildlife and endangered species living on the island.
After the talk he got us to work on solar powered fans. This was deadly. Then we headed for the beach to have some fun.
We walked along the beach on our way back to catch the bus. We collected all sorts of things. Dion found a sword that made sounds. Robert found a builders hat and Brandon found a dead starfish. We found plenty of shells and stones too.
We had to run to catch the bus back to school. We all had a great time on the trip. I can’t wait for the next one!
