Primary 7 DMcE - The Famine
2nd May 2024
Primary 7 children have been thoroughly engaged in their World Around Us lessons this term, delving deep into the topic of The Famine.
This week, armed with iPads, the children conducted research into the significance of potatoes during that era for Irish people. They explored the causes behind the potato blight and the resulting famine, as well as the profound impact it had on countless Irish families. Using the information gathered, the children created informative posters that addressed the importance of potatoes during that period, the devastation caused by the potato blight, and the far-reaching consequences for Irish families.
