We are currently learning about the 1916 Easter Rising and the aftermath which resulted in the War of Independence.
We were extremely lucky that our own Emily Cullen was kindly allowed to bring in her Dad’s old medals from this historic time. We were fortunate to see replica medals from 1916, the War of Independence and also badges that were awarded to specific groups during this time such as Cumann and mBan and the Cork Brigade.
The class were also super excited to watch the first part of the film ‘Michael Collins’ which we will be finishing next week.
