Our Trip into the City!
We fed the ducks in St. Stephen's Green and had our lunch there...
 


 



We did the Skullduggery Workshop in the Natural History Museum with Geraldine. It was brilliant!








Geraldine told us about using eye placement to decide whether the skull came from prey or predator animals
'Eyes at the front time to hunt. Eyes at the side, time to hide!'




We then had a chance to explore the other amazing animal displays in the museum...zebra, elephant, rhino, giraffe and even a human brain!




















We tasted some Barmbrack. 

Caitlin found the ring!
