The 1916 Rising Commenmoration

Third, Fourth and Fifth class have been working very hard on their projects for the 1916 Rising Commenmoration.

Merlin Woods was lucky enough to get some special visitors, soldiers from the army to present the school with the Irish flag and to commemorate the 1916 Rising. The children had prepared lots of answers to lots of questions and performed some songs on the tin whistle on the day.
