Mrs Sarah Ginty: Virtual School Tour 2020

VIRTUAL SCHOOL TOUR 2020

Check out some of these ‘virtual school tours’ below.
Of course they are not as much fun as the real thing
but you may find them interesting all the same!

TOUR 1.
NEWGRANGE

Our first trip is based on the first topic we studied in History this year.
We learned about Ancient Ireland and Ireland's First farmers.
During these times in Ireland the ancient people worshiped many Gods.
There were two main festivals. The Winter Solstice and
The Summer Solstice. The Passage Tomb in
Newgrange is mainly associated with the
Winter Solstice (21st December every year)
This year, the Summer Solstice falls on Saturday 20th June
Summer solstice 2020 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 22:43
It is also know as the Longest Day of the Year.
