Under the Hawthorn Tree

5th Jun 2018

Another fantastic novel devoured by 3rd and 4th class! 

After spending some time studying The Great Famine in history, the girls and boys couldn’t wait to read a story set during this difficult time.

“Under the Hawthorn Tree” is a story about three young children; Eily, Michael and Peggy, who are left to fend for themselves after tragedy strikes their family. Starving and in danger of the dreaded workhouse, they set out on a journey to find their great aunts.

Take a peep at some samples of our novel studies.
