Dress them in the Union flag and have them beat the rest of the childer
With the £ signs on that missive?
It’s likely a school trip for soup takers….
Give them a book of common prayer and it’ll be grand
If they really wanted to get in the spirit of it, they would have told them not to bring any food.
To get into the spirit. They’re going to be walking there and back
Hope it wasn’t one of the teachers that wrote that letter.
I dont think there is any harm at all to let children if they want to dress up for the day. Some people here are so fucking negative, not to mention the unnecessary comments about unionists/protestants.
To get into the spirit , the fattest child will be sacrificed as lunch for the day. Vegetarian children will eat the grass at the side of the road as they make their way by barefoot to the visitors centre.
Dress them in a coffin
Too dark?
£11 is a bargin price. If that was in the republic it would probably cost €20 a head
Please tell me we can hack the google classroom and/or I demand the parent atleast screenshots with redacting the school name what the photos are on the Google Classroom.
Genuinely the first time I laughed out loud at a post… lmao.
This sounds deadly !! I’d go myself !!
I went there as a child. It was great fun, anyone who likes this kind of thing should definitely check out the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, it’s similar, but more accessible as it’s just outside Belfast.
Is there an Irish primary school letter home font on MS word or something?
Swear it’s the only time I see that font used.
To get in the spirit make sure you starve your children and then when they ask for help make sure no one helps them but you. Even then you ignore them
The Ulster American Folk Park is class though
“Feel free to dress up to get into the spirit of our trip to Auschwitz”
Reminds me of going to an old industrial museum in England in the early 2000s as a primary school kid. They made us dress up as victorian kids, use a nib pen and ink well with blotting paper, threaten us with the cane (that was weird to write), had us go under the old wool machines. I always remember thinking “actual kids died here…” but it was super fun as a 7 year old.
half will take the soup
I mean, not a bad idea considering how uncomfortable they will be
Anyone who’s moaning about this had better not start on about cancel culture or overly sensitive snowflakes any time soon
If you’d been to the folk park you’d know they occasionally have groups wear period clothing. They’re not asking them to cosplay as famine victims or anything. It looks a very broad scope of emigration from pre famine right up to today, and it does a good job of teaching kids in my opinion. The occasion is very obviously the trip itself not the famine.
Eh, no spuds, no Poitín, no spirits at all.
Oh my god the Omagh Folk Park is literally the most amazing place ever!!!
Should just have them in the middle of nowhere building a folly drinking saw dust gruel and eatin’ nettles.
With a touch of the cholera
Packed lunch an a drink is more than what the original seafarers took let alone those left behind.
It’ll be lost on them though.

Dress them in rags and a peak cap.
Why is the date the 10th of January?
