Last Monday, the first day back after our Easter holidays was difficult for us as we hadn’t been in school in three weeks. We all walked into our class and the Miss said “We are all going to Trinity College today!”
At half nine we left the school and walked to Trinity.
We were met by a girl who I named Lucinda Cobweb. She took us into the lecture theatre and there was another boy’s school in there from James Street. A boy called Alistair gave us a bar and some orange juice. We were delighted because we were thirsty from the walk.
We were divided into two groups and Alistair was with us. He brought us to the zoology department. The other school got to go and do maths roulette. A man was waiting there to tell us all about extinct, endangered and vulnerable animals in the world.
It was very interesting especially when he showed us the huge elephant tooth.
The man in charge divided the class into three groups and each group went to the different sections of the room. The first group learned about animal teeth, another group got to make a chimpanzee skeleton and the last group did a quiz on animals.
After all our hard work, we rushed down to the canteen and got lots of lovely food.
Both schools were brought outside and split up into groups to do a scavenger hunt. We had to go and find different areas of the college to answer the questions. We saw the book of kells, the old library, statues and sculptures there. Finally we all met back together and got a special stamp which means we are trinity citizens.
Overall it was a great day which we weren’t expecting.
By fifth class.
