In early September, Ms. Reynolds and her 6th Year English students were asked to recite lines from Heaney's most popular poems, explain them and teach it to their peers.
As a part of our engagement with Heaney, our Sixth year students were asked to recite lines from Heaney's popular poems, to explain it and teach it to their peers.
