Cork third class students use Lego to brilliantly recreate the 1916 Easter Rising

A big bualadh bos is in order for the third class students of Sunday’s Well Boys National School and their teacher Michael O’ Connor after they epically recreated the 1916 Easter Rising using Lego.

In what must have been a painstaking process, the boys and their teacher from the Cork city school released a stop frame video entitled ’Lego 1916 The Movie’ on YouTube yesterday - and we must say it’s a fantastic effort!

The sets the students put together are excellent and they even voice the video themselves.

The clip features fight scenes and even the executions of some of the Rising’s leaders, leading one of the commenters on it to say it had "better production values and is more historically accurate than RTÉ’s Rebellion".

Mr O’Connor seems like a brilliant múinteoir and we bet the boys had a lot of fun learning about the 1916 Easter Rising.
