Living History Day @ Dunsany N.S., 29 May 2014

For our Living History Day pupils and teachers dressed in old- style clothing. We also had some interesting historical characters – Martin Luther King, Al Capone, Abraham Lincoln, Frank Sinatra, Marie Antoinette, the Great Geisha and a 1920’s charlston girl.  

 Everyone went to great lengths to ‘get the look’. We were most impressed by you all. A ‘huge thank’ you and ‘well done’ to all the mums, dads and pupils for all your efforts. The pupils looked so authentic. The day was topped off by an interesting display by Kilmessan man Richard Farrelly, chairperson of Navan Historical Society. Richard brought along his vast collection of artefacts and fielded questions from the pupils for nigh on two hours! Thank you to Richard for giving the pupils the opportunity to see and touch items from our past.

Remember what Richard told us….
“The worst handwriting is better than the best memory.”
 In other words, get writing! Keep records! Ask questions of your parents, grandparents and great grandparents and write down what you learn. Who knows maybe the pupils of Dunsany NS in 2114 will be reading your records and handling your artefacts!
