Beo


As part of the Beo Local History project we visited Terryland graveyard in Castlelawn. We went with 5th class. It was a lovely sunny day. We all got to work in groups. Each group had some children from 2nd class and some children from 5th class in it. We learned a lot. We noticed that there was a stone wall all around the graveyard, but no church in sight! We counted the graves when we went into the grave yard. We found some really old graves. We said a prayer for all the people burried there. We had paper and crayons with us and we did some rubbings of old headstones. Ms. O'Byrne took a video of us working and Ms. Farrelly took photos. We saw some wild flowers in the grave yard too.
