The school was founded in 1908 in cullens wood house by Padraig Pearse. He got interested in education because of his love of Irish culture. He taught children in a different way than regular teachers. He did not give any sort of test or quiz to any of the children. He believed the key to learning was inspiration so too, an inspiring setting. Padraig wanted a school surrounded by nature so scoil Eanne was established. For an activity the school would swim in the river that was very close to the school. The school was a boarding school because it was so far away from their homes.&nbsp; While running the school he hit a financial crisis on so many occasions. Padraig was already in debt when he started the school. After the school went bankrupt he shifted to the arena of voluntary politics. There was a group of students known as the dogs. They were known as this because they secretly manufactured bombs in the basement. Also it was an all boys school. Pearse loved to do plays with all the young boys in that school like the Children of Lír and also lots of cool and nice poems. Padraig Pearse opened the school in 1910 for children to come stay. A man called Edward Hudson was the man who built St Endas in 1786 after he bought the land. The school was an Irish speaking school. There were fifty acres of land surrounding the museum.

Mural by Grace Gifford painted in her Kilmainham cell

Our class got picked for Tallaght Library project. Barbara organised the trip to Kilmainham Gaol. We learned about the 1916 Rising and about the 7 leaders.&nbsp; &nbsp; First we went to the chapel where Grace Gifford and Joseph Plunkett got married. The women sat on 1 side and men on the other side.&nbsp; We were visiting the leaders’ cells. Some of them were Tomás McDonagh, Padraig Pearse, William Pearse. They were held in cells before they were executed the next day. Next, we went to the Stonebreaker’s Yard. The prisoners had to break stones as a punishment and 7 of the leaders were executed there. Finally, we went to the IMMA to have lunch and play. We walked through the old Military hospital. It was really good, exciting and interesting seeing the cells.

Grace Gifford's mural on her cell in Kilmainham museum

In Massy's woods there were loads of rivers and trees. There were big trees, small trees and massive trees. One of the massive trees was called the Californian redwood ( the biggest tree in Massy's woods)&nbsp; &nbsp; The area was originally called Killakee, derived from the Irish coill an chaoich, meaning the wood of the blind man. The name Massy's wood came from the Massy family who owned the estate and lived in Killakee house in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. &nbsp;

Introduction to the Project from Laura Joyce, Senior Executive Librarian of Tallaght Library

Tallaght library was delighted to work with St Thomas’ SNS on Snapshots from South Dublin, a project funded through the Dormant Accounts Fund. The project aimed to get the pupils involved in researching and learning about their local area, focusing on historical, cultural and natural amenities in Tallaght and South Dublin. It featured a number of workshops and field trips. Barbara Coughlan, the key facilitator, introduced the children to a variety of learning methods which feature in this digital book including voice recording, videoing, photography, illustration and text.

Then made our own swans from clay inspired by Oisin Kelly's sculpture in the Garden of Remembrance

Would you like to attend Saint Enda's School? Why? Why not?

Having visited St. Enda's school, I would love to go there myself. The history of St.Endas fascinates me. St. Endas I think is an amazing school. For a school, it's quite big. The interior design is also good. It has so much room and space. It has so many rooms and even statues. However, the mattresses on the beds are made out of horsehair, which would be very uncomfortable. In St. Enda's school the boys and sometimes even the adults would dress up as legends and myths and stand on a stage and read out the scripts of the people they dressed up as. In St. Enda’s, the kids went to the river in the grounds and learned how to swim.

Press this button to hear an interview with Adam Loftus

A magnificent mansion once stood on this site and the remains of garden walls are still visible. It belonged to the Massy family. However, the family spent a lot of their inheritance on hunting parties and gambling and squandered it away on a lavish lifestyle. They owed a lot of money to the bank. In 1924, the court granted a bank the right to take over the mansion The earl Hamon Massy was sick and in bed the day the sheriff arrived, but a doctor certified that he was fit to be moved. The sheriff's men sent for an ambulance, but he refused to get into it. He said that he was unable to walk and stated that the only way he would leave the house was to be carried out. He was lifted out of the mansion on his mattress and left on the side of the road.

The famous scene from history when Lord Massy was left his estate with only his mattress captured in Lego

We were brought on a tour of the Civic theatre and sat in the seats of the auditorium and went backstage to see the dressing rooms and the chill room.&nbsp;We learnt how to use the lighting system and how to open the curtains.

Kilmainham Gaol opened in 1796 as the new county jail for Dublin; It was built on Gallous hill. It closed the gates/doors in 1924.&nbsp; The first prisoner was Henry Joy McCracken. He entered the jail in 1796 and was hanged 2 years later.&nbsp; In 1800 to 1850 over 4,000 prisoners were transported to Australia . Today the building symbolizes the tradition of milatrant and constitutional nationalism from the rebellion of 1798 to the irish civil war of 1922 and 1923. In 1803 the first rising began. When the new east wing was made in 1861 and opened in 1862 it gave them an extra 96 more cells. The last 2 women who got hanged wore both named Bridget - Bridget Butterly and Bridget Ennis. One was 19 and the other was 21 .&nbsp; The Stonebreaker’s Yard in Kilmainham Gaol is where the leaders of the 1916 rising were executed. &nbsp;

Amaz, astonished the tour guide Dermot, as she gave her interpretation of this painting. He asked everyone "What do you see in this picture?" "A baby" said Amaz. "No one has ever gotten the correct answer to that question", said Dermot. The baby represents the new Ireland and everyone always focuses on the cross and the grave stones and the starving children under the woman's cloak. Well done Amaz!

We read Irish legends and rewrote the famous stories just like the boys of Saint Enda's School who reenacted them on the stage and in the grounds of the park.

Tallaght Library where history comes to life

We went to Tallaght Library and met an American historian called Cecilia Hartsell.&nbsp;She spoke about the events of 9/11 in New York and the effects it had on New York city, the people of America and the rest of the world.&nbsp;

St Maelruains church was designed by John Semple.. The tower is four stories high and has a spiral staircase. The graves of the artist Oisin Kelly, Evie Hone and Elizabeth Rivers are in the new graveyard at St Maelruains. It is located in Tallaght in South County Dublin. It is in the province of Leinster. It was constructed in 1829,using the fabric of an earlier church,and re-using a medieval tower as a belfry. St Maelruain's losset is a wide and shallow granite trough or font.’Losat’ is an Old Irish word describing a wooden trough used in the past for kneading bread. There are many great tombstones in the cemetery. There are about 986 graveyards in the cemetery.

Rathfarnham has a lot of Greek influence such as the Greek gods room, the architecture of the ceilings and different types of pillars. Let's talk about how these Greek influences got there. I personally think that they got there because Adam Loftus saw it in a museum and loved it and decided to put it in his castle. Let's talk about the different pillars in Rathfarnham castle. First the 3 types of pillars are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. A lot of rooms in Rathfarnham have pillars like the entrance hall and the entrance and some more. The ceilings in many rooms in Rathfarnham have a lot of Greek influences. The Saloon’s ceiling is filled with Greek architecture and pictures of Christ that were designed by James the “Athienian” Stuart. The Greek gods room in Rathfarnham more likely known as the four seasons room. This room was also designed by James the Athenian and on the ceiling of this room there are Greek gods and goddesses, Apollo, Artemis, Aries, Dionysus and Hermes.

The most famous thing to happen at the chapel was the marriage of Joseph&nbsp;Plunkett and Grace Gifford in&nbsp;May 1916. Joseph and Grace were married by Father Eugene Mcarthy at the chapel. On Sunday people would go to the chapel for mass. Mass was probably the most time the prisoners saw each other. James Lalor made the chapel, an inmate at the time. He wrote please pray for him on the back of the wooden altar. Only the catholic chapel is open today to view. There are two chapels in Kilmainham Gaol, one painted blue and one with a red painted wall. The red painted wall is found on the first floor, and the chapel painted blue is on the top floor.

We also made rubbings of some gravestones, sketched the interior of the church and as well as the gravestones.
