Primary 7 visit the Workhouse

16th Jan 2025


On Tuesday Primary 7 visited Bagenal’s Castle to relive a day in the Workhouse as part of their Local Study. The children participated in daily lessons and jobs that the boys and girls would have had to complete on a daily basis. They were shocked at the quality of food offered to children in the work house. Master Carroll took us for a guided tour after, where he showed us artefacts from the famine.

We would like to thank Bagenal’s Castle for a fantastic visit.
