Principal John Burns had a most enjoyable class visit today to Ms. McMahon’s class, who informed him all about The Celts. Mr. Burns learned that The Celts first arrived in Ireland about 500 BC. Men and women in Celtic times usually wore long tunics with different accessories, such as coats, capes, jewelry or belts. Most Celts lived in houses that were round instead of square. Many Celts were farmers, so they grew their own food and learned where they could gather nuts, berries and honey around their village. The Celts also kept their own cows, chickens and other livestock – sometimes the animals would come into their homes at night, as they didn’t have their own stable. In battle, Celts mainly fought with swords and spears, and they used long shields to protect themselves. Mr. Burns had a most enjoyable class and Ms. McMahon’s pupils also showed him all their beautiful posters about life in Celtic Ireland. Well done Ranganna III-IV.
