Celebrating the Rising 1916 - 2016

On 15th March every school in the country celebrated Proclamation Day.  Here, in St.Catherine’s we asked everyone to make an attempt to dress as children would have 100 years ago.  The result was spectacular.  Well done everyone.  Have a look at some of us in our costumes.

5th class opened proceedings with a song called James Larkin.

Second class wrote their own proclamations and these were put together and read as one. Well done 2nd class.

Third class also read some work they had written on the proclamation

After this we sang Ireland’s Call and one student accompanied our pianist on the recorder whilst a Senior Infant pupil sang the first verse and chorus. Well done boys.

4th Class performed their play ‘ A Triumph of all sorts’, which explained the rising to us all in a child friendly manner.  It was brilliant…well done 4th class.

Of course after all of this activity inside, we all went outside to raise the flag.  It was a very proud moment.
