We were so sad when we finished our book, ‘The Young Rebels’. It was a great choice for One Book, One Community.
We’ve reached the Easter Monday chapter in ‘The Young Rebels’. We’re gripped. So are our puppets! #6thClass pic.twitter.com/ZTPsIZnJm2

We had a brilliant class trip to St. Enda’s, the school in Rathfarnham where Padraig Pearse was principal. It is where our book is set, an it was instrumental in the 1916 Rising story.
#5thClass & #6thClass had the best time visiting the Pearse Museum (St. Enda’s) as part of their #Rang1916 work! pic.twitter.com/ArsLVQHvLR

It was the perfect place to visit as our ‘One Book, One Community’ novel ‘The Young Rebels’ is set there. #Rang1916 pic.twitter.com/fBugGmFGgd

We toured the beautiful grounds and got a sense of what Pearse was inspired by! #Rang1916 pic.twitter.com/Jaa7Hl1Sj9

We were fascinated by the principal’s office. Patrick Pearse had lots of Robert Emmet themed art there. #Rang1916 pic.twitter.com/agbftsts31

I think that proves we all deserve this Easter break! We can’t wait to catch up from April 4th, when we are back to school. Until then, stay bloggy!
