Today, the children from P4 and P4/5 had the opportunity to visit Seamus Heaney HomePlace.
The children experienced a fantastic educational visit where they got to experience the ‘Blackberry Picking’ workshop. Throughout the day the boys and girls explored the poem ‘BlackBerry Picking’, had the opportunity to handle blackberries, learn about their life cycle as well as create blackberry ink art. They also had a yummy teddy bears picnic with scones and blackberry jam.
As well as this, the children got the opportunity to complete the Heaney Exhibition tour were they found out lots of information about a variety of his poems. The class couldn’t believe it when they were able to listen to recordings of Heaney reciting some of his famous poems!
The children were a complete joy to bring along today. Well done boys and girls - lots of learning and fun had by all 😊
