Traveller Culture Awareness

This week the children in Second Class were very lucky to learn about the traveller culture and traditions, through the expertise and experience of Bridget and Kathleen from the Galway Traveller Movement. The children learned about how travellers lived in the past and how they made a living through working as tin smiths. The children had the chance to examine some of their handiwork and the various markings on the tin buckets. The children also learned about the connection between travelers and horses. The ladies also taught the children some words from the Cant language!
