At the Caves, one of my favourite Days

I don't really know which would be my best day in Ireland. If I had to decide, I would say that my favourite day was when we visited the Marble Arch Caves. These are caves where stalactites reach two and a half metres long! This is a result of the erosive action that the water from inside the cave created. Also the bacterias gave an uncommon shape to the rocks so it was pretty nice. That was such a good scennery.

I also liked Einskillen, the island inside Ireland sorrounded by a river and communicated by bridges. It had a beatiful city inside, with a huge gothic cathedral.

Now, after seeing this marvelous places, the whole Ireland sings me the OMD song: DON'T GO!!!

My best experience in Ireland

Hi!!! I'm going to talk about my best experience in this beautiful travel to Ireland. One day ,my host mom asked me and my roommate to go or visit any town, monument that were near us. I didn't now any place to visit, so my host mom said to me to go to Marble Arch Caves. Then the mother drove us to the Caves. When we arrived we waited for  our guider. After that short waiting our guider led us and the other visitors to the entrance of the Caves. During the visit in to the caves the guider was explaining us all about the caves. The Caves were amazing, I saw many shapes that the water gave to the cave. The tour lasted one hour, one part of the tour was on a boat

SIlvia's best day

MY BEST MOMENT IN IRELAND:
My best day in Ireland was yesterday. We went to school like the other days but at twelve we left the school with some of the irish to go to Donegal, for surfing and do blow karting. We arrived at 1 and we went to SURF AND TURF where we put our wetsuits. Then surfing!!! We were around three hours in the water. Now was time to leave and they told us that doing blow karting was imposible because of ghe wind so at five we were into the bus, but now to go to our houses because that night was the disco. We got dressed and at half nine we were all at the disco. It was great and me met many people in there.

My best moment in Ireland

 Hi! I can't avoid thinking about my last week here, in Ireland. I have gone through a lot of special moments, but I'll try to choose one of them. I've made my mind; I'll talk about today. We went to Dublin with our host family to watch an awesome show in the theatre. It's called Heartbeat of Home. The dances were so beautiful! I loved it. And the music was so good. I think everyone should go to the theatre to know what I'm talking about. It's an incredible experience. By Clara

Blog by Juan

Hello everyone! I'm Juan and I'll tell you about this wonderful day of my travel to Ireland. First, like all  days, I got up at 08:00. Later, I had a shower and I went to have a delicious breakfast. Then, the bus came to my house. This bus it's only for spanish people. In the school we had English lessons for about 3 hours. After this, we had break time, but over here we only have fifteen minutes. When the break time finished, we went to do P.E. for around two hours. And then we had  lunch. I ate a delicious roll of bacon, chicken and tomato. Forty five minutes later,  lunch finished and we went again to classroom. The first year (I'm in first year clases ) had Maths, and then the best class:Spanish
.that's all See you soon.

We miss you but Dont want to leave Ireland

Hi everyone!! I`m Julio and today it`s my turn. Today I had a lot of fun. First I woke up and had breakfast. Later I played some videogames . We played for a very long time cause our mother started to say that we were machines but she was laughing with us. Then we dressed up and we had lunch. After that we went to the park with all the Spanish and Irish people. We spent all the afternoon there, playing with a ball, jumping, talking, running, etc. We bought some pizza and food for everyone. Then we stayed in the park or in the street. Later we (Pablo and me) went to our home( cause we can`t arrive after nine o`clock). We had dinner as soon as we arrived. We ate chicken with rice and curry. We almost drank milk cause it was very spicy. And now I`m here in my bedroom talking about my day here in Ireland. I don`t have anything more to say so I think this is the end. I hope you`re having fun in Gran Canaria. We almost miss you but we don`t want to le ave Ireland! Bye! By Julio O'Shanahan

Happy birthday from Ireland!

Tired day Hi! I'm writing in my bed, the day was tiring.We woke up at 9 o'clock, I was hungry so I went to the kitchen and I ate some toast and milk. First Meki, Irene, Miriam and me went to our bedroom and made our bag. Our room was very untidy so we found a lot of things. Then we went to the bus and stayed there for 1 hour and 30 minutes, I was listening to music with Meki but she was sleeping and I looked through the windows. Suddenly we arrived at the school and waited there for about 30 minutes, and finally we went to our house. Now I ' m writing my diary but before that,we we tb to the park and played there. I like so much Donnegal it was perfect moment becouse we were doing a lot of things,and Meki and Irene bought me a Smurfs.

Donegal at last!

1st DAY IN DONEGAL At 10.15 we were all in the bus, ready for going to donegal. We arrived  at 11.30 and we went to the hostal, where we went to our rooms. Then the surf teachers told us to put the surf swimmsuit and get into the cars. When we were at the beach they said that we couldn, t go surfing because of the million jellyfishes. So we tried to go cliff jumping but there were also jellyfishes. then we got into the cars for going to the hostal. We stayed 2 hours there and then we went to play some games in a recreative center. we spent 3 hours playing there, we won a lot of tickets that then we changed for teddys. I got a minion! After that we ate toasts with nutella and hot chocolate. It wasnt a bad day at the end, but we are looking forward to doing surf, blo-karting and other sports that they had told us. Lots of love for spain. ♡ Ana de leon del rosario 17th september 2013 Tuesday.

Friday,13th September

Hello I,m Guille I,m 14 years old (yesterday it was my birthday) and I,m going to talk about the things I,ve done in this beautiful place. The first day I was so sad but now everything has changed. Today I woke up at 8 o,clock in the morning, I ate some toasts with a glass of this nice milk. I dressed up for the school with a lot of t-shirts, because here is so cold (today 6 grades, buffff!!!). In the school we did English with the best teacher Carlos, but later we did another time English with an old teacher, and in the middle of the class my iPod makes a noise and I had good luck because the teacher didn't tell me nothing (or she is deaf). So today is Friday and the classes finished before. I went home and I played call of duty with my Irish brother and Luis. Then, we meet in the park with some friends, and now I,m here with Peter writing this blog. I,m sorry but I cannot send photos because I,m with my brother's iPad.     Bye bye and see you in gran canaria soon!!!!!!!!!        Guille

Wednesday 11th September, third day: Gaelic football training.
It wasn't a normal day,we were Spanish people in an Irish school full of many Irish students that were overwhelming us.
Suddenly ,Carlos took us to P.E, we were going to train for playing Gaelic football. First we ran and stretched from side to side. Then two guys taught us the rules of Gaelic football. It was the moment of truth, the Irish team will kill us!

Tuesday 10 th September, second SCHOOL day


After yesterday's laughs, today there was hospitality in the air. The whole school came into 
something new, respect and kindness. We splitted in our respective groups. Then we met a huge kind of teachers. Subjects teached were a little difficult, but we got over it with some effort. Also we learnt a lot with the teachers. It was such a perfect day, just like Lou Reed used to say

By Miguel Toledo

Leaving Ireland feeling really touched and thankful to Saint Mogue's College Community, specially to  all The families for having welcomed our kids so nicely and warmly.I also feel proud of our kids for having  coped with this new experience so well.Now, Keep working and learning and share it with us!Good luck! Patricia

9th of September: School Day

Today we went to school for the first time. It was very funny because everyone was trying to speak in Spanish and they only knew how to say "hola".
I'm in 3rd Year; and we had to learn how to do simultaneous equations. It was very easy.
Then we had Bussiness. We had to draw an advertisement. The teacher thought that we didn't know how to say "green" or "red". We couldn't stop laughing!
