In Mr O’Neill’s 4th class we have studied the events of Easter Week 1916. We were divided into groups and each of us had to do research on our topic. When we had all practised our parts Mr O’Neill invited some of the 3rd and 4th classes to join us and listen to our presentations. We were all very nervous! Once we got started we were great! The presentations included, The Rich and The Poor in 1916, The British Army, The Rebel Leaders who signed the Proclamation and Roger Casement’s story. A group also talked about the some of the buildings that became famous as a result of the Rising for example: G.P.O.,Liberty Hall and Boland’s Mill. Click here for website
