Yesterday the 25th of march all TY's headed of on a trip to Dublin to see the Yeats exhibition in the national library, the bog bodies in the national museum and the Yeats exhibition in the national gallery. Class Amina started their day in the national library looking at the W.B Yeats exhibition i found the day very interesting as we didn't just learn about his poetry it was also about his life growing up. I was surprised to find out Yeats wasn't actually a good student in English his best subject was chemistry and sports. We learned about his love life with Maude Gonne and how he proposed to her 5 formally times and she rejected him each time he then moved on to her daughter who also rejected him. Yeats finally met the love of his life Georgie and married happily with her.
We then continued our tour to the national museum where we had a tour on all the artefact's and bodies found in the bog. Anything that is placed in a bog will be preserved for many year. We saw all the bodies that were murdered and then recovered a few years ago. I found this the most interesting part of the day and really enjoyed it.
