Last Friday, 2A welcomed Cork South-West TD, Holly Cairns to our CSPE class to find out more about her experience as a government TD. This year we are learning about Global Citizenship and how our government works here in Ireland.
We decided we would like to invite Ms. Cairn’s to meet our class as she is local, young and from a farming background. Adam wrote a letter to invite her to our school and we were delighted when she said she could visit. Next, we asked our class which questions they would like to ask and we selected the most popular questions. We set up the room and organised some refreshments.
Adam, Kate, Donagh and Rachel met Ms. Cairns at the office and walked her up to our classroom. Ms. Cairns started off by explaining her role in government and how she became a politician. Then we took turns asking our questions and we had some biscuits and tea.
It was an amazing experience and we learned a lot about how our government works.
