Brief outline of the Project
The Ogham Stone Project

A group project to make one large Ogham stone representing the class with information about the school written in Ogham writing up the edges of the stone.

And for each student to make their own stone with personally designed symbols to represent themselves. Their individual stones were painted and placed in the pockets previously made around the main stone.

The students made their own notebooks, their ‘Ogham Stone Diary’s’ where they gathered information about the project, the history of the Celts, the Ogham stones and the Ogham alphabet. They built up their ideas about themselves, their own symbols that represents them for their own stones
