The first day of high school




Today was the first day of high school. It was very different from high school in Spain, mainly because they don’t have exams — it’s more like a transition year.
Also, they have lunch at school, which was very strange for me.

In the first hour, we had Music. In this class, we had a lot of fun because we spent the whole time dancing.
The next hour we had Spanish, which was very easy for me.

After that class, we had a short break where we had a snack. Then we had Physical Education (PE), a class where we had a lot of fun playing different sports.

After PE, we had Irish class. The teacher made groups with Spanish and Irish students mixed together. She taught us how to say basic words in Irish. Then, the teacher filmed us and showed the video on the whiteboard.

After this class, we had our last break, during which we had lunch.
Next, we had our final class of the day: Social, Personal and Health Education, where we talked about mental health.

After that, we went to the pitch to watch hurling training.
When it finished, we went to his great uncle’s house to have dinner. They were very kind to me, and we had delicious pasta with meat.

Afterwards, we went back to his house, and I spent the rest of the day doing my homework from Spain.

A long weekend

This Saturday morning, we went to see a hurling match at the pitch. The match was really exciting. Later that day, we went home to have dinner. At night, we went to see a concert by a traditional Irish music group called The Fógues . I loved the concert because it was something different. On Sunday morning, we went to see Darragh and Gearóid playing musical instruments. It was a commemorative event for the Irish people who fled to Canada many years ago due to religious problems. Their descendants, who migrated to Canada, returned to Ireland this week for the event. The event took place in a beautiful forest called Griston East. When we arrived, Laura and I had a cup of coffee. Later, we went to see them playing the instruments. Next, we went home to have dinner. After that, we went roller skating with some of the Erasmus students. We had a great time and really enjoyed it.

First, I woke up early to take the train from Charleville to Cork. When we arrived in Cork, the first thing we did was go to the Marina Market, which is a big market with lots of shops and restaurants. We had lunch there — I had a mix of potatoes and meat. After lunch, we visited the city center. We also went to visit a church, but since we didn’t have a tour guide, we just looked around. Later t...

The second day in Ireland

Image
Today we woke up at 7:00 to go to Limerick, a beautiful city where we had a lot of fun. Just as we arrived, it started to rain heavily, so we went into a small museum where we saw some amazing pictures. Later, when it stopped raining, we visited a house museum that had many historical items, and the tour guide explained all the historical places in the city to us. After visiting the house museum, we went to a very large market with lots of shops. Then, we went to a shopping center where we visited more stores and had lunch at a restaurant. When we returned to Kilfinnane, we went to watch a hurling match between two local teams. After the match, we went to one of the Erasmus student’s houses, where we had dinner and had a lot of fun playing some games. I really liked the city of Limerick, and I had a great time that day watching the hurling match.
