Today some pupils in the class made fantastic presentations about their ancestors and their achievements. Liam told us about one of his ancestors who has a street named after him in Montreal, Rue Dowd! Kalum mentioned a curious accident which a relative of his was involved in. Roan told us about his grandfather who won an All Ireland medal and Maithiú told us about one of his ancestors who helped build a winding staircase in the Whitehouse in Washington. This proves how our own family history can be absolutely fascinating!
