Hello everyone!
I'm teaching in Meath, very close to Dublin border, and am trying to sort out our annual school tour. For some reason, I can't seem to think of anywhere decent to bring them. It's twothird classes, mostly 8 and 9 year olds, with 30 kids in each.
I like the idea of outdoor adventure and we don't mind travelling a bit, if we found somewhere decent. I've spoken to The Tain Adventure Centre, Carlingford, and it's €47 per child, which is too much for a 3rd class day trip. Also, some of their activities are a bit risky for 9 year olds; canoeing, climbing walls, banana boats.
Even indoor ideas would be considered, educational or otherwise.
Any suggestions from fellow teachers, or indeed anyone else would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
