At a recent planning session residents asked to learn more about the Giant’s Causeway on the North Coast as some had visited there when younger. Using the iPads and lap top computer we did some research and found out there were 2 stories behind the formation of the Giant’s Causeway.

• The Science – Karen found out that the Giant’s Causeway was formed after a period of volcanic activity where lava cooled when it came into contact with the sea and formed the hexagonal columns.
• The Legend – Desmond found out that the Giant’s Causeway was formed when an Irish Giant (Fionn McCool) fought a Scottish Giant (Benandonner).

We watched a documentary by the National Trust, listened to several YouTube stories, wrote out some facts, completed wordsearches, did some cut and paste activities, coloured pictures and then displayed all our hard work on one of the notice boards.
