We Celebrate the Bicentenary of Robert Emmet’s death

To celebrate the Bicentenary of Robert Emmet’s death we attended a presentation on history through the ages. We learned about the period in history during which Robert Emmet lived. This helped us with our project on the great visionary. Here is a photograph of our project.
We dressed up in various clothes from different periods in history and got to examine weaponry from such periods. Here are some photographs of us enjoying ourselves.
