6th Class Museum

In our history we decided to make a museum of old objects from around Bandon. We worked very hard and we ended up creating a wonderful museum. We organised it very well! We got objects such as an old phone, old money, fancy silver and old games like monopoly! One very interesting object was an old bulletin. It only mentions male babies in the ‘recently baptised section’, and only men’s names for spring station masses, which were masses inside people’s homes! In the ‘Dress a doll’ game, we found a sharp needle and the age suitability from 6+! We brought in old books and one of them dated back to 1819! The museum stimulated our interest in local history and led to us inviting Mrs Kitty Cotter into our classroom to speak to us about the history of Scoil Bhride.
