A TERM IN IRELAND 21-22

 Hello!!  It’s been a wonderful weekend for all of us! But specially on Saturday because we had a lovely weather: it was a sunny and bright day.  We enjoyed the day going to new bridge house and farm. First of all we had lunch all together on the fields of the farm and we were sharing laughs and stories between us.  After lunch we went inside of the farm and made a little tour around it and we saw the different animals of the farm. Audrey gave us a paper with some questions about the animals and then she challenged us: We had to find the differences between a male and female peacock. It was very interesting to find and learn about it. While we were looking for the answers we went around the farm and visited the different types of animals like: lamas, rabitts, hens, goats, peacocks, ducks, pigs, horses, sheep, owls, cows, and different kind of birds. We were able to touch most of them and also to feed them. We are looking forward to next Saturday and for telling you how it will be and w

We met another Saturday lucky to have a very good weather and the enthusiasm to tell everything we had done during the week and the little anecdotes lived all along these days. This week was our turn to make, our 1st stop at the church in Merrion Church so that anyone and those who wanted could go to confession... in Spanish, phew!!! We are learning a lot... But not ready to do that in English, yet! and  Later , we went to Outlands College for our English class: time flew!!! because Audrey is  our teacher and she makes the classes very dynamic .  After the class, we took the bus all the way to Phoenix Park, we took our bikes there ready for a ride. It was a real adventure using the gears on the bikes!!! , some of us needed to be reminded on how to ride, since it had been a while since we last rode a bike!!! But after a few minutes we were all riding and exploring every path in the park. We were able to see many things in Phoenix Park:  the American embassy, the papal cross, a prehistor

Hello, hello The joys of Saturday are back!  This past Saturday we enjoyed, like every Saturday, the English class together, and we learned even more. So, as we were going to the zoo, the topic of the class was "animals", and we learnt vocabulary that we didn't know before, some of the words being very useful for that day. After that, we went to the zoo, where we met Loreto, who knows the zoo very well and was able to give us a guided tour all around the zoo park.  We saw many different types of animals: giraffes, monkeys, organgutans, lions, turtles, wolves, etc. We had a lot of fun and also took a lot of pictures. We also had a competition: we had to form groups of 4 and take funny pictures of different animals; one of the biggest animals, another one of a mammal, one of an aquatic animal, and one more of a flying animal.  We all managed to finish, even though we couldn't see elephants and had to look for another big animal instead. At the end of it all, as a reward

We are back! Second Saturday here and we are almost fully envolved into the Irish routine and culture! We were picked up by bus, but this time the first stop it was at the church in Merrion, where we've been able to confess with a priest that is able to speak Spanish so that helped us to have a good confession. Afterwards we went to Outlands College where we joined Audrey and taking advantage of the good weather, we did an outdoor activity all together. Later we went into the classroom to do English lessons but this time at the end of the class and afterlunch we celebrate Txell's and Ari's birthdays and Ivet's saint's day with two birthday cakes and some sweets to share up with all de group.  One all the celebration was finshed and the bus arrived to collect us, we went off to Dublin where we enjoyed a guided tour arround the centre of Dublin. Our leader was Guille who has been in Ireland amounts of times and she did know the city very well and the best places to sh

Hi again! It's just a couple of days we landed in Ireland and we are back together! We picked all the girls up in three different bus-stops where the families had dropped us and once everyone was on the bus we started our way to Oatlands College, Dublin were we had our first English class. We introduced our selves to Audrey, our teacher and shared traits of our personality and also had lunch in the same room. We were very excited and talking about our first days and how the Irish families have different lifestyles. Once we finished lunch after the english class we went back to the bus and headed to the Bowling Alleys in Leisureplex Blanchardstown. We had a really good time, laughing, playing and sharing the day together. After the game we bought some treats to celebrate the winners: Sofia, Bruna and Txell. Here we are!
