Fifth Class pupils had a very enjoyable visit to our local library today. They met Michael Moylan from History Live who presented a workshop on the Titanic. He brought along a model of the ship, costumes and other props. We learned a lot as he retold the story of the Titanic in a very entertaining manner. We were all actively involved as we dressed up to recreate characters from the story.
