Clay Cottages

After learning all about the Famine and reading our novel 'Under the Hawthorn Tree', the children created some wonderful clay models of the cottages found in Ireland in the 19th Century. It was great fun creating our paths, windows, doors and chimneys. We cannot wait to paint them!
 

Finished Products!!


We also created projects in groups based on the famine. We researched all about the Indian corn, relief work, workhouses, potato blight, soup kitchens, emigration, evictions and the changes after the famine. Well done to everyone for producing excellent projects!
