Some amount of effort went into this. 

The students in 3rd class from Sunday’s Well Boys National School, in Cork, have recreated the 1916 Easter Rising using Lego.

Their teacher, Michael O’Connor, helped them create a stop-frame animation documenting the events of the 1916 Rising.

In the video, ‘Lego 1916 The Movie’, they use Lego, a green screen and their own voices to act out some of the most famous scenes in Irish history.
