In Dublin 7 Educate Together we celebrated Proclamation Day by having a flag raising ceremony in front of the school. We sang the national anthem, Amhrán na bhFiann, and we listened to pupils play the national anthem beautifully on a range of musical instruments.
As part of the commemoration of the 1916 Rising, the whole school drafted a Proclamation for a New Generation. We used the original Proclamation as a basis and each class level had an area to discuss and consider. In Junior Infants we looked at sports and leisure and discussed what we would like to include in a new Proclamation.
The two Junior Infant classes drafted the paragraph:
Every child will have the right to play with toys, play games and play sport.
Every family will have lots of time off to spend time with each other.
Everyone will have the chance to play Irish sports and sports from around the world.
Every family will get money to spend on sports equipment.
On the day Kate read our paragraph from the Proclamation for the whole school.
