Over the past few weeks, our 6th Class pupils have been learning about the Great Irish Famine (An Gorta Mór), exploring its causes and how it affected people’s lives.

To bring their learning into the art room, each pupil chose a scene from the period to depict. They used painting, sketching, fabric and fibre, sewing and model-making to share their understanding in different ways.

Well done to 6th Class for the thought, care and creativity they brought to this project. November 2026
