We went on our school tour yesterday. We went to the Foxford Woollen Mills where we learned all about the history of the mill, and we even got to see the modern looms working. We then went to Funnybones in Collooney, where we had something to eat, before being let loose for some climbing and running and jumping. Before we came home, we went to McDonalds in Sligo.
