In
December 2002, 9th year classes visited St.Patrick's Centre
in Downpatrick to find out more about our patron saint.
|
|
|
|
We
visited the exhibition, and then filled in questionnaires
with all the information we had discovered about St Patrick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We
were shown the tools a monk would have used in a monastery
to copy scriptures on to a manuscript. We were allowed to
take a feather and paper to try to write using calligraphy
as the monks would have done.
|
|
We
took a virtual helicopter ride around the sites in Ireland
associated with St Patrick. It was so realistic that some
pupils felt dizzy and sick!
Before returning to school we had the opportunity to buy gifts
in the shop, rounding off a memorable day. |
