Today was Proclamation Day, an important day where all of the schools in Ireland take time to commemorate 1916, celebrate the present and imagine the future. The students in Mr. Larke's room have worked hard on interesting and informative projects about 1916 and the events leading to Ireland becoming the Republic it is today. They have also created a Proclamation for a New Generation for St. Patrick's N.S., which you can see, along with the other proclamations from around Ireland, on scoilnet.ie.
Ben Ryan read an explanation of the word 'proclamation' and then Elliot read our proclamation:
Eleanor raised the national flag and the whole school sang our national anthem, Amhrán na bhFiann.
Isabella then spoke about our Active School Flag and mentioned how it was won by the whole school working together. We sang our Active School Song and Matthew Love raised the flag.
