Bog bodies!

Last week we went on a English trip to Dublin. We first went to the natural museum. We saw many of the artefact's that were found in the iron/bronze age. We then went to see the bog bodies! Everyone was so excited to see them and it was one of the highlights of the trip. When I saw the bog bodies I was surprised that I didn't find it upsetting or sick. I found it really interesting! One bodies was amazing as his hand was so perfectly preserved, a picture of it is below. I was amazed by the bodies as i was so interested in the mystery of why they were killed and how. We then went to the William Yeats Museum. I love poetry and I was very fascinated by his life and work. One thing that really shocked me from his life was his interaction with spirits. I found that really strange as the tour guide explained that he spoke to them for answers to his life. William’s life was certainly very interesting as the guide told us all about his loves like Maude Gonne that he urged after. We then went to the National Art Gallery. We then saw all of Jack Yeats paintings. The room was set up so that you’re able to see the changes in his life and work. His early drawing were very realistic but when we moved on he got very creative and contemporary. I enjoyed looking at his paintings many were full of color and a story. I really enjoyed the trip out! The sun was blazing and that just made the day all the better! :)
