Tuesday 15th March 2016 was Proclamation Day. On this day every school in the country was invited to share their Proclamation for a New Generation.

Here in Slatta N.S. we savoured the chance to learn more about The 1916 Easter Rising as we prepared for Proclamation Day.

The Senior Classes completed a project on the history of The Easter Rising which can be viewed on the noticeboard in the hallway of the school. (Pictures below)

The Junior Classes incorporated The Easter Rising into their Aistear play sessions – role-playing in the GPO and having a mini rising with their smallworld village and army. (Photos on website)

On Tuesday 15th we had a flag raising ceremony for the Irish flag we received back in October.

6th class read the 1916 Proclamation then 3rd and 4th class read Slatta’s Proclamation for a New Generation. The Junior classes waved their flags as they watched with great interest.

1916 Easter Rising Project

On Friday 9th October a Defence Forces team came to our school.

They came to present us with a copy of The 1916 Proclamation and the National Flag for the school.

This is all part of the 1916 Easter Rising commemorations.
