At the Athenry heritage centre we split into two groups of thirty students. Our group started with archery lessons. Some of us were really good and got bull's eyes or burst balloons. Even the teachers tried. Next we ate lunch, ran in the maze and had a tug of war competition.
After this we all dressed up in old Norman costumes and were told lots about living in Norman times. We got to see lots of old Norman things too. It was a really exciting talk, and there were lots of chances for us to join in.We went to Athenry castle too, and went in to the basement. We would have liked to explore the whole castle, but we just didn't have enough time. We had a wonderful tour!
