RASHARKIN HISTORY WALK

This year our school is once again working with St Patrick’s Primary School in a Shared Education Signature Project. Our P4 and P5 children will be working with the P5 class from St Patrick’s Primary School to create Interactive Books using Book Creator on the I-pads. Their subject is ‘History of Rasharkin Village’. Today they met for their first session which started off with an ice-breaker to get to know each other. They then went on a guided walk of Rasharkin with Liam McCart from the local History Group. The children were given lots of information about the old shops, churches and police barracks, and they were amazed at how many different shops used to be in the village. They are now looking forward to creating their books in future sessions.
