More to come....
We all had a fantastic day out last Friday. Firstly we visited Arbour Hill Cemetary to see the graves of the main leaders of the Easter Rising. From there we travelled to Kilmainham Gaol where we got a guided tour of the prison and learnt many interesting facts. We had a picnic for lunch where we were all able to relax and soak up the rays! Lastly, we visited Collins' Barracks to deepen our knowledge of Ireland's past. We found many things very interesting and there are illustrated reports to follow along with some of the pictures we took! Enjoy...

Learn more about the Easter Rising
This is a short video on the Easter Rising. Watch it and write down two new things you learn. Maybe you could include them in your project as a 'Fact Box'.
The Ireland of Long Ago v's The Ireland of Today
How may differences can you spot between O'Connell Street today and the then Sackville Street of 1916?

In class we have been learning about the 1916 Rising. We are reading the novel "The Guns of Easter" and will be visiting Kilmainham Gaol this Friday. Learn some more about Kilmainham Gaol by clicking here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmainham_Gaol
