Fermanagh and Omagh District Council invited the P5 P6 & P7 class to take part in this year’s “Our Place” project. The project aimed to improve the children’s’ understanding of the history and the linguistic diversity associated with their locality.
- The class took part in a workshop dealing with common townland meanings in the Omagh area with specific emphasis on the townlands connected to both the school and the children themselves.
- The children produced work based on their interpretations of the local place names studied in the first workshop. This work was in the form of poetry, prose and artwork.
Each child contributed their personal interpretation of their townland.
The contributions will be brought together digitally to create a pop-up which will be presented to the school and will feature the school name and will be in a public exhibition to be held in May 2016.
