WELCOME TO OUR PRIMARY 6 CLASS
ON OUR DOORSTEP
Our topic is ‘On our Doorstep’ where we are learning all about our local community. We went on a class field trip to visit Dooey’s Cairn, an ancient neolithic burial ground in Dunloy. We really enjoyed the walk to Dooey’s Cairn and on our way we recognised the townland signs as well as seeing some of our houses along the way. We then learned about Dooey’s Cairn and what life was like for those who used this site. We also took the opportunity to develop our measuring skills by measuring the height of the stones. We measured the perimeter of the whole site…that was a big task but we mastered it by working together as a team!
A special word of thanks has to go to Mrs McAlonan who joined us on this trip. Mrs McAlonan taught us all about Dooey’s Cairn and shared many stories with us about both Dooey’s Cairn and the local area. We loved hearing and learning all about our special community.
