Welcome back everyone. 

We have had a great start to the school year. Already we have started our projects on Prosperous. We are busy writing about Robert Brooke and hope to start our power points next week.

Our teacher says that we will also have to go down to the village and take pictures of the older buildings so watch this space!!

It looks as if we are going to have a very busy year. 

We have just finished our projects on Prosperous and have learnt a lot.
Our teacher has asked us to type on this website some facts about Prosperous.

I learned that Robert Brooke built Prosperous. He was from Cavan. He wanted to build a cotton industry. He was a poor business man and the cotton industry failed.

I learned that  he  built many buildings. He built  Downings house, the post office and the  buildings near it.

I learned that he died in 1811 in St,Helena. He named Prosperous Bay.

I learned about the 1798 rebellion, It started in Prosperous and was all over Ilan
