On November 27th, 6th Class visited Leinster House as the final part of our #budget15 project.
As you all know, earlier in the school year 6th Class presented local Junior Minister Simon Harris with a budget we had prepared. We divided up into ministerial roles and the department of finance ‘officials’ in class set to work to prepare a document suitable to present to Minister Harris. After weeks of work, when our project was done, Minister Harris came into our class and we presented him with out work. He really liked it!
To reward us for our work, Minister Harris invited us into Leinster House to see Dáil and Seanad Éireann at work! It was an amazing day. Check out our tweets!
6th Class are on their way to Leinster House! Thanks to Melanie, Audrey and Sharon for coming with us. A very exciting day ahead.

We couldn’t take many pictures, as we weren’t allowed to take pictures inside the building. Here is a great picture of Melanie, Sharon and Audrey who came with us! Thanks to them for giving up their day to help Ms. Brennan to mind us.

It was amazing to see the Dáil and Seanad at work. We also loved seeing the inside of Leinster House and we heard all about it’s fascinating history.
We saw @SimonHarrisTD working in the Seanad. They were talking about flooding and coastlines! We liked that because it is important to Bray.

It was a really great day. Thanks again to Minister Simon Harris for the invitation! The day was definitely a highlight of the year so far, and 6th Class deserve great credit for how well they behaved and represented St. Peter’s on the day out.
Thank you so much to Stephanie and @SimonHarrisTD for looking after us today! #6thClassTrip #LeinsterHouse
