An Post

We have been learning all about how the postal system works in Ireland. We found out about the work that goes on behind the scenes and during the night in order to deliver mail and parcels all around the country. Piotr brought in some Polish stamps for us to look at and contrast with our Irish ones.
The GPO and its importance in both communications and history was very interesting to read about.
