TY History class visit London

NEWS / 18 May 2011

Amy Bennett (TY) writes in detail about the long and busy day that the TY History students had when they visited London on Tuesday, 5th April.

London TY TripLondon TY tripOn Tuesday, 5th April our TY History class went to London to visit the Imperial War Museum's Holocaust exhibition.

We had a very early start and had to be in Dublin airport at 4.30am. We arrived in London about 9am and had a 2 hour bus journey to reach the Museum. We walked around the Holocaust exhibition for over an hour. It was very poignant to see reconstructions of camps and read letters and poems written by people in the camps, including one 12 year-old girl writing to her friend.

Afterwards we had some lunch in the Museum. We then got back on their bus and had a tour of London and saw sites like Buckingham Palace, London Bridge and Big Ben. It was interesting to see the Guards out in preparation for the Royal Wedding. Afterwards we headed back to the airport and arrived home at 11pm that night. It was a tiring but worthwhile day and everybody enjoyed the trip. (Click on thumbnails to open an enlarged version of photo. ))
