What an exciting weekend we had in Dublinia!!!
On Saturday we had a great puppet show depicting the rise
and fall of Lambert Simnel a ten year old boy who became the King of Ireland in
1487.
At the time he was crowned King Edward VI making him a pretender
to the throne in an attempt to overthrow King Henry VII of England.
We must say a big thank you to our master puppeteer Julie
for putting on a great show for all involved. It provided children of all ages
some insight into the history of Ireland and what it would be like to be King
of Ireland in 1487.
On Sunday we had Tamas back for ‘Dress like a Viking’.
If you haven’t seen Tamas just yet, you are missing out!
Tamas is our very own Viking who gives you details about his costume and what
it would have been like to be a Viking. He tells stories of how they lived
their day to day lives.
If you were too busy last weekend enjoying the sun, not to
worry because we have a very exciting event coming up over this Easter.
We are hosting a “Big Dig” and a “Viking house” in our
courtyard in Dublinia. Our Viking Big Dig gives children a chance to experience
what is like to be an archaeologist for a day and you never know they might
find Viking treasures dating back over 1000 years.
You can check out our Facebook page for any further
information regarding our Big Dig event!
