Here is a snippet of Emily’s short documentary... I’m sure the people of 2094 are happy to have missed out on 2020!📸⏰📆 #jcenglish

[Blakestown CS English @English_BCS]

After exploring the historical context of #TKAMB our 2nd year class had to explain the historical context of 2020 after landing their time machine in 2094... We brainstormed, debated and the results proved how truly creative our students are!💡

Senator, we’d like you to lay down a PQ to the Minister, asking her to commit to reducing the PTR in DEIS schools & increase grants & supports in this year’s budget. We think all students deserve their day in the sun, and not have to depend on charities like @SVP_Ireland

[Blakestown CS @BlakestownCS]
