TY Trip to the Ploughing Championships

By Maisie Lanigan (4D)

On Wednesday the 18th of September the TY students were brought on an exciting day trip to the National Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska Co. Laois.
Us students were very excited to go out on our first day trip of TY!!
​
We had an early start, meeting at the school for 7:30 and set off at around 7:45.
We had great chats and enjoyed the scenic views on our journey down🌳
When we arrived we discussed our meeting time & place and made sure we could all contact our teachers. After that was sorted we were let in and excited to explore!

We were amazed to see the amount of people, stalls and entertainment there.
It was a lovely sunny day which made it even better☀️
We went to watch the actual ploughing competitions which were very professional and interesting to see🚜

After a lot of walking, shopping and tasting delicious treats we had to head back to Lusk.

It was a very enjoyable trip and has made the TY's very excited for what's to come!!
