The P7 pupils went on a local field trip of the Ardboe area today.
The trip was led by Gerry Vincent Forbes, Sean Coleman and Brendan McKeown. They shared valuable historical, geographical, environmental and local information with the children. Thank you so much for taking time today to share a vast amount of excellent knowledge with our pupils.
The children acquired new information about the war, life in Ardboe in the 1940’s and details regarding the air fields and the existing buildings. They also learnt about wind turbines and how beneficial they are to our environment.
They received a tour of Gerry-Vincent’s chicken houses and got to feed and meet the horses and cows. Anna and Nicole shared their knowledge of horses with the children.
Brendan taught the children about a variety of trees and showed them where to locate Slemish mountain and the International Airport.
The children received a lovely treat. Thank you to Cathal Forbes for supplying a wide range of goodies.
It was a memorable day and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
