Our 6th Class joined up with 6th Class in Central Model School, Marlborough St. yesterday to take part in a history trail based on our book ‘Across the Divide’! We all met in Rutland Hall where we were put in to pairs. We were given the activity booklet and clip boards, and we then took to the streets! It was strange at first meeting and working with new people, but we got used to it and had a great time!

We walked down to O connell street and compared and contrasted the street and different buildings and monuments to as it was in 1913. We saw that the Imperial hotel is now Clerys department store! The Spire is now taking the place of Nelson’s Pillar! O Connell Street used to be called Sackville Street! But the GPO is the exact same! A lot of the class agreed that the older buildings in the city are the nicest!

We then walked up Sackville place, around by Liberty hall – which is completely different now! And ended our trail in Marlborough St School Hall for a drink and snack! We were blessed to have the sun with us, which made our walk even more fun! Here are photos of our super boys and girls being very busy!
