It has taken some time and a lot of technical issues but we are finally up and running and hope to be posting here regularly between now and the end of the year!
First of all, we must update you all on the variety of different things that we have done both in and out of class during Term 1 from August to Halloween:
Our first major event was a 6th class trip to Finglas Garda Station on Wednesday September 27th as part of the station's 2017 Open Day. We were picked up at 10am on the morning by Garda Brian and enjoyed some excellent music on the bus on the way in!
After arriving, we got a look inside a Garda Surveillance Unit truck which was parked outside the station. Inside, we saw security cameras, maps and other high-tech equipment used by the Gardai.
As well as this, we got to meet representatives of the different Garda units such as the Armed Support Unit, the Detective Unit, the Mounted Unit and Canine Support Unit (including one support dog named Roxie who was very popular!) We also got to pay a visit to the cells and got to hear the Garda Pipe Band play for us.
