Arigna Mines

On the 6th June 1st class - 6th class attended Arigna Mines in Carrick-on-Shannon.

On arrival the children explored the exhibition area and watched a 25 minute DVD about the mines. They were then brought on a tour of the mines by an ex miner which is literally a journey through a miner's life. The dripping of water, the intensity of the darkness, the sight of the cramped areas in which the miners lay on their sides in pools of water as they dug out coal. 

It was an amazing experience.

Zipit Lough Key Forest Park

After our tour of Arigna we went to Zipit in Roscommon.

Zipit has platforms on trees at various heights (ranging from 1 metre to 20 metres off the ground) which are connected by a range of activities, such as rope bridges, swinging logs, cargo nets and ziplines, allowing you to move from one tree to another.

There are five different circuits, with each one getting a little bit more challenging than the previous.

All children participated and had a great time.
