1916 : 100 years on and the children are reading up on these brave Irish men and women . We have been very lucky . Saoirse Murtagh's Dad sent in some interesting books on the 1916 Rising . One particular book , "The Irish Year Book" dating from 1909 had an advert at the back from Tom Clarke , tobacconist & Stationer 55 Amiens Street Dublin . Second class thoroughly enjoyed these books , the PowerPoint presentations and discussions afterwards .
