From my investigations, I have learnt about Dunshaughlin Workhouse and its history, but I have also been privy to other learning experiences. By completing this investigation I had the opportunity to harness my research and communication skills, as well as my skills as a teacher. This investigation gave me the opportunity of exploring how the study of a place could be brought into the classroom, and how it could be made enjoyable for the children, as well as providing a valuable learning experience.
