Ancient Rome
We are currently studying Ancient Rome in 6th Class. We have been researching for our own essays and completed group projects on various aspects of life in Ancient Rome. We made mosaics in Art.
'Young Rebels'
In 6th Class we have been reading a novel called 'Young Rebels' by Morgan Llywelyn.
This story is set in St. Enda's School in Rathfarnham in the 1900s where Pádraig Pearse is the headmaster. This was a changing time in history in Ireland and this book teaches us about the events leading up to the 1916 Rising in Dublin.

School Trip
As part of our study of the novel we took a trip to the Pearse Museum in Rathfarnham. This trip really brought the novel to life. We saw the dormitory where John Joe, the main character in our novel slept and we learned lots about Pádraig Pearse and his brother Willie. We got a guided tour of the house and explored the grounds. We had a great day!
