Today Tuesday 15th of March 2016 we celebrated the proclamation of the 1916 rising. The whole school got together and created some very interesting projects which we displayed in our school for our parents to explore.
Here is a photo of our class project about James Kearney the grounds keeper of St Stephens green who managed to stop the fighting every day during the rising for an hour so he could feed the ducks in the park. After the war he was given a medal from the RSPCA for his work. We also displayed photos from our trip to Dublin City.
Then at 12pm we assembled at the front of the school to sing some songs and raise our tricolour.
Today we got to go to Dublin on a trip to explore several of the important sites that where significant during the 1916 rising. We got to explore the GPO, Trinity college and St. Stephens green. We had a ball exploring our capital city!
The GPO:
Trinity:
Feeding the ducks in St. Stephens green:
One of the stories we are leaning about is about James Kearney the park keeper for St Stephens Green.
He got the two sides to stop the fighting around St Stephens green every day for an hour during the rising so that he could feed the ducks in the park.
He got an award from the RSPCA for his good work. We are making a duck display for Tuesday we hope you will all be able to come into school for our flag raising ceremony.
Here we are having fun making our Ducks!
