On Easter Monday, April 24th 1916, Padraig Pearse stood outside the GPO and read aloud the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, sparking the beginning of 6 days of battle on the streets of Dublin. 100 years later, the Irish both at home and abroad recreated the language of the Proclamation.

Ahead of our look at the events of 101 years ago, we first look at the historical relationship between Ireland and Britain. For the video below, start at 1.07.
.In the 16th-17th centuries (between 1550-1650), the English crown attempted to replace Irish landowners with English and Scottish landowners by 'planting' new landowners. These took place in three parts of Ireland - Munster (1556), Laois/Offaly (1586) and Ulster (1609).
The Ulster Plantation was the most successful and still has an impact on the area to this day. www.plantationofulster.org/ www.historyforkids.net/ancient-greek-gods.html
Today we learned the origin of Apollo when discussing the Apollo Space Program. Learn more above about other Greek Gods www.bbc.co.uk/wales/celts/ - link to learn more about the Celts
