Click HERE to play an interactive game
about day to day life in Viking times.
Review: I played this game and I learned some interesting facts about Vikings.
The videos on the game don’t work and you can’t see the transcripts
because it is a BBC site and the videos would only work in the UK.
But the game was fun and I liked the humour and the graphics.

Review: We are in third class. We think fourth, fifth or sixth might enjoy this activity. We found it hard.
This is a very informative booklet written
for the centenary of St. Patrick’s Church in Greystones.
It tells how Greystones got its name
and follows the history of Greystones
from when it was a small fishing village,
through to the coming of the railway and the growth of the town.
2. There is a wonderful archive of photos on Greystones Guide.
Many of these were collected by Derek Paine.
They are being added to all the time.
3. Greystones is also very lucky to have an active
Greystones Archaeological and Historical Society.
In November 2015, Greystones Archaelogicial and Historical Society
sent the schools in Greystones a very useful information pack.
This has proved to be a valuable resource
and reawakened our interest in local history
here in St. Brigid’s National School in Greystones..
There is a lot of information to be found
in the journals produced by this group.

Check out the website.
There is a lot to see.
Please supervise children when they are researching online.
The internet is a portal to the outside world.
