On Monday 21st October P5 had a visit to Coleraine Town Hall to the Sam Henry exhibition. Sam Henry was a famous writer and folklorist from Coleraine. The exhibition entitled ‘Sam Henry: Culture Connects’ features personal artifacts, documents and audio clips for visitors to explore. The children explored the artifacts that were on display, to learn more about Sam Henry, his job and his collections.
In pairs, the children wrote short stories about three items from the exhibition. The children were given the opportunity to hold and talk about some of the pieces on display. They even saw a pair of binoculars that had been to WW1 and back.
