On Tuesday 3rd March, we visited the Ulster American Folk Park as part of our famine topic. During the trip we heard about the stories of the characters in Under the Hawthorne Tree, our class novel, and how they coped with the famine. We saw what it would a typical house and school house would have been like in 1845. We also walked through a typical Irish village with shop fronts. We then took a journey to the New World, America, on a ship and experienced what life would have been like there. All in all, a great day!
