Stories of the Revolution 1916 – 1922
Pupils in 4th, 5th and 6th class took part in a project entitled ‘West Cork: Stories of the Revolution’ this year. The children worked very hard gathering and compiling stories from their parents, grandparents and older relations of the 1916 -1922 period in the locality. William Casey from the Heritage Centre in Skibbereen visited the school twice to help the children with their work. We gathered some very interesting stories and we learned a lot about what life was like in our great-grandparents’ time. Some children even brought in artefacts from the time. All children had to write the stories gathered and accompany them with some artwork. These stories will be published on the Cork County Council website and we have kept a copy in school.
