Jack’s recount:
We read a funny story about the giant Finn McCool
in our class readers.
When a giant from Scotland come to visit,
Finn McCool played a trick.
He pretended to be a baby.
The story said that the Scottish Giant
had travelled over the Giant’s Causeway.
He built a causeway starting in Scotland.
Finn Mc Cool, the Irish Giant built
the causeway in the North of Ireland.

This is a legend.
People long ago told stories to explain things.
We learned the Causeway was formed from basalt rock
because a volcano erupted 60 million years ago.
We watched a short video
from National Geographic for Kids.
Teacher was reminded what a good website this is
and so she is posting the link here:
