All of the Senior Infant pupils worked really hard to prepare this collage of James Kearney feeding the ducks in St. Stephen's Green during the 1916 Rising. They used a mixture of newspaper, lollipop sticks, pipe cleaners, wool, sand, sequins, feathers, buttons, tissue, pompoms and paint. The pupils really enjoyed learning about the 1916 Rising in a simple way as well as helping to make a really big piece of art!

We had a wonderful ceremony for Proclamation Day. Well done to all of the pupils and teachers for all of their hard work in preparing for this once in a generation day. It was a very special moment for us as a school to see the flag being raised on this beautiful sunny day. We will upload more photographs and information as the days go by but in the meantime we want to say thank you to everyone who attended the special ceremony today.

You can get a small flavour of the day by viewing the video below.  

The children in Room 17 have been very busy researching for their 1916 projects. The boys and girls have put a lot of great effort and team work into making these.  Here are the children dressed up for History Day holding their Easter pom poms. 

In celebration of the Easter Rising 1916, first class children have been learning ‘How children played 100 years ago’.

We had fantastic fun playing games such as Queenie I-O, Hopscotch, Donkey, The Alley Alley-O and Skipping!
