His name is Sherlock. He stays under the bed a lot. We didn’t name him he had that name BEFORE he was at the pet shop and when he was at the pet shop. So we kept it!

Dublinia

Dublinia is a museum about the early people in Dublin. They were vikings from Scandinavia.

Gideon tried on a chainmail helmet!

Gideon and I wrote our names in viking runes!

I also wrote pizza!

Time zones

There is a huge time difference between were you are and were I am. When it is 10:00 am where you are, it is 4:00 pm where I am! When you get out of school, I had just eaten dinner!

Also, we get a lot of sunlight. So much that we got a double rainbow at 10:00 pm!

Bru na Boinne and Knowth

Yesterday we went to Bru na Boinne and saw 5000 year old passage tombs. The ones we went to were in Knowth, which was part of the site.

5000 years ago, people used these for storing food and hiding from enemies.

On the outside, there are carvings in the rock. Scientists don’t know what the carvings mean. They only know that the spirals are somehow relaed to the sun.

And the same day we saw penguins at the aquarium!:
