Here is a throw back to what we got up to in December
Heritage Projects
We had two pupils complete individual projects for the Cork Heritage Projects and we were lucky enough to get a presentation from both Ethan and Robert of their work.
Ethan chose the topic of Pairc Ui Chaomh and did a fantastic job of educating our class on the history of Pairc Ui Chomh as well as his own opinions and findings. He had lots of photos and even visited the grounds himself and was lucky enough to get in for a free match!! Ethan also made a fantastic model, thinking outside the box and baking a cake of the pairc.
Robert chose the English Market to complete his project, knowing there was lots of information available on this popular Cork location. Robert went to the market himself to check his information and met the local traders, one man in particular is known for meeting the queen of England on her visit to Cork. He explained the history of the market and gave his personal opinions to the class. Robert captured the beauty of the market in both his photos and his model.
