Winner in Laois / Offaly Heritage Project 2018
Four boys from 6th Class, Sam McAulay, Steven Dillon, Kealan Franks and Conor Lally represented our school by competing in the Living Heritage in Schools Project run by Laois Ed. Centre. The boys submitted a group essay. “Ireland 1918, A Snapshot in Time.” They researched life in Birr and nationally in 1918 & this research earned them 3rd place out of 22 competitors. Also, the boys presented and talked about their project at a judging ceremony held in Portlaoise. For this they created a snapshot of their essay using plasticine. These models are on display in the hall for all to admire. In this category they won Best Cultural Heritage Project. Thanks to Ms Hogan for organising the project and assisting the boys in both essay and project where they displayed great literacy , research and presentation skills- Well done boys
