A TERM IN IRELAND 21-22

Hi again!  It's been our last Saturday in Ireland, quite sad because it means our experience here is ending but we had an amazing farewell day!  We went to Tayto Park, an amusement park in Ireland, located in Kilbrew, County Meath. We have decided to go there because we have a lot of things to celebrate: the end of the term and school, the exam because it went really good and last but not least Aina's birthday! The bus dropped us off in the morning as we had no English classes so we were able to enjoy the whole day at Tayto. We could walk around it on our own and enjoy all the different amusements like: the rollercoaster, the rotator, viking boats... We met for lunch and we shared our feelings and explained to each other what we liked the most. Most of us eat the lunch quickly as we wanted to go back to the amusements.  Once the time to leave was reaching we rushed to go for the last rides and then we joined all together to celebrate the birthday of Aina: we sang happy birthday

Hello!! This last Saturday we had the Junior TIE exam, we were very nervous but also very prepared. Our bus driver gave us a card to wish us good luck in the exam, a very kind from him and we were very happy to receive it.                       The exam was structured in two parts: one for writing and the other for speaking. The exam questions were about a reading book, our daily life here in Ireland, a film we chose, one of the two traditional stories we worked on (one Irish and the other Spanish) or about a news story. All of us were really happy of how was the exam, and with the answers we gave to the examiners. We really noticed the improvement we did on the past weeks, so we could answer the questions with enough confidence and with a good level of english. Once we finished the exam we were relaxed and excited because we were going shopping. We went to Grafton street which is one of the liveliest streets in the city and is very popular among Dubliners because of its shops. Once th

 Hi everybody! This Saturday after the English lesson were we had our last tips and lessons for the exam on next Saturday, the bus took us to Greystones beach. Located at the southern end of the town of Greystones. A very beautiful place, were we made a nice 20 minutes walk from were the bus droped us to the beach and once we arrived, some of us with our swimsuit on, we went straight to the water for a nice swim, but once we touch the water, was actually very cold and we had to get out immediately to dry off, but we also, talked and shared lots of laughs together while playing along the beach. Also, some of us went with the tutors to have an ice cream and a crepe in Gino's, a nearby cafe, icecream and crepe shop which was delicious and it remind us to summer feelings! Meanwhile, some of us played football with a group of Irish kids who were also spending the day at the beach and of course we won the match. The day held out and it rained for a few seconds, but the rest of the day wa

  Hello!! It has been a wonderful bank holiday here! It began with the usual outing on saturday! We started the day going to Dublin and having the English class. There Audrey gave us the book we have to read and prepare for the exam. Afterwards, the bus collected us and we went off to the jumping zone! Most of us have trampolines in our host families so we were very prepared for the high jumps!  When we arrived we didn’t imagine that the jumping zone was that big! There were lots of different games and activities, such as slides, foam wrestling and wall climbing. Some of us practiced our gymnastic skills and most of the girls were really good at it. After an exhausting and intense hour in which we had lots of fun we took the bus off to our families. All of us we’ve been really happy to join with our friends again, it’s really fun to spend the day doing activities they like, as you can see. Here you have some pictures of our day in the jumping zone. See you next week!
