Day 2 saw the group meeting up at Cratloe Woods out in Clare\u00a0@ 10am.\u00a0 We hiked through the Woods for 2 hours. Thankfully it stayed dry and everyone really enjoyed getting out into the fresh air and stretching their legs.\u00a0 After Cratloe we headed for\u00a0Bunratty for lunch\u00a0 in Joe & Jilly’s cafe followed by a spot of shopping\u00a0 in the fabulous ‘Meadows & Byrnes’ before heading over to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park.\u00a0 Aoife O’Connell had\u00a0 given us an introduction to the Castle earlier in the morning and this was elaborated on by a fantastic guided tour of the Castle. The origins, demise and subsequent refurbishment of the Castle were explained in detail. The dungeon, murder holes and magnificent rooftop views were just some of the highlights enjoyed by the students before we set out for the Folk Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The Folk Park is\u00a0 a\u00a0 selection of buildings\u00a0 in a large parkland showcasing both urban and rural Ireland in the 19th century. Exact replicas of public houses, a post office, doctor’s surgery and school are open to\u00a0 visitors. Various types of domestic dwellings can also be seen showcasing how people from different socio-economic backgrounds lived on a day to day basis. It is an utterly unique experience that never fails to delight those who visit.\u00a0 All of the houses are fully furnished in accordance with the standards of the time down to the table settings and soft furnishings in the bedrooms -if any- thus offering a really in depth and accurate insight\u00a0into life before electricity, running water and indoor plumbing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Park also has many four legged residents and the students enjoyed seeing the pigs, donkeys, sheep and poultry in their natural environment.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Students started drifting off from 5.30 onwards as parents arrived to collect them. Various get togethers were organised for the evening including the teachers!\u00a0 At this stage of the Exchange it really is just such a pleasure\u00a0 to reunite and spend time\u00a0 with what feels like old friends.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tomorrow we are excited to showcase our beautiful new school building, enjoy the Welcome Breakfast and introduce the students to education in Ireland.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Slan agus beannacht libh.\u00a0<\/div>\n
