Only 5 days left...

Hey there!
 I'm Andrés and I'm going to tell you about my day over here in Ireland.

Today I woke up at  around 8:15 and had a big breakfast. After that, I took the bus to school with Jacob and Conor, my "Irish brother". We didn't do a lot at school, just some Irish dancing, Maths, and English. We had lunch at school and later on, we all returned home. We spent all afternoon and part of the evening at home. At 6 we hanged out with our Irish and Spanish mates. At around 9:30 we came back to the house . Afterwards I had a shower and stayed for awhile chatting with some friends. It has been a really good day, but I'm sad because we've only got 5 days left in Ireland. I've enjoyed a lot my experience, and It would be amazing if we stayed over here some more time.

Sunday

Hi, my name is Pablo and i'm going to tell you how was this Sunday. I woke up around eleven because   yesterday we went to the disco and I was tired. After having breakfast, I went to a friend 's house and I stayed there until I had to eat. Here in Ireland we have dinner around two or three p.m. Later, I had a short rest in bed. Then I went with my Spanish  and my Irish mates to a bowling alley in Donegal. It was so funny. And that's all I did this Sunday.

Hi, I'm Lucía. This is our last weekend here in Ireland. Today I woke up very late because yesterday we went to the disco and we had a great time over there. I had breakfast, a glass of milk with some biscuits, later on I fed the chickens and ducks. Around 4, all the spanish and irish mates, met at the park and we had a great time over there, we played, laughed and talked about the disco. We also took a lot of photos meanwhile we were eating our dinner. We had an amazing time all together! Then I came back home and I watched a movie about zombies.

Getting ready

26th of September

Dear diary,

Today was the last day we were in Donegal, therefor after a long night between games and jokes we had to woke up before 9 to have  breakfast and pack all our things and go to buy some souvenirs. I bought a cup and two magnetos for my family. Once we all had done our souvenir shopping we went to the bus and after an hours and a quarter we came back to the school. After school we had lunch and I had a shower. Now I'm writing this diary because now I will get some sleep for the disco. I think we are going to spend a great time at the disco, I'll hope we all enjoy it!

Bye diary!

A new week in Ireland...

Monday 22nd, September

A new week has started .

I woke up around eight and I prepared all the stuff for school. I had for breakfast toasts with mermelade and butter and hot chocolate. Five minutes after, our host mom drove us to school. Over there, we had a few lessons. In Irish studies we learnt how to dance a typical Irish dance, it was really funny and in the rest of the classes we had English and we wrote a writting to show our English level. Later on, we came back home and had dinner. It was a chicken wrap with salad. Around half five, I met some Spanish and English mates to watch a match of gaelic football because my host brother had to play . He played very well,  even he scored a goal but he tied. I spent the rest of the day playing games and listening to music.

A FUN DAY OUT IN DONEGAL

Hi everyone!! Here we are continuing our experience in Ireland. Everyday here is a new adventure and yesterday it was a really nice day.  We went to school in the morning but around half twelve we got the  bus to go to Donegal. When we arrived we put on some wetsuits and we went to an amazing beach and we started to surf.  It was really funny, everyone were falling all the time and we were trying to keep ourselves on the board and I was very surprised because I didn't think I could do it and actually I was standing on the board  and it was great because everyone were looking at you and the people that were there helping us were shounting things like "Good wave! " or "Keep going! " and we had a great time there. The beach was amazing, it wasn't similar at all to our beaches but it was very beautiful and big. There weren't many people so it was also very relaxing. After that we went to the bus again and went back home. When we arrived home Niamh,  Patricia and me took a shower and after that we played some cards with Niamh and her sister Orla. Before going to bed we saw a film with them in the living room and finally we went to sleep because we were very tired of all day. We want to continue having these great days. See you soon Spain! Love.

SURFING IN DONEGAL!

I really like Ireland...

Hi ! 

I am jacob and I am going to tell you all about my time in Ireland. First ,I got up at eight o'clock then I went to the kitchen to have my breakfast. When I finished ,Andres and I went to the school by bus. Over there ,we did 4 times Home Economics classes. We prepared a lasagne and in lunch we ate it ,  it was delicious. Then ,the next hour we only sang a very popular song in Ireland. Break time here is too short as they have two breaks ,the first one, is only fifteen minutes and the other one is 30 minutes .In The  second one  we have lunch. The school finishes at four o'clock but I am living in Ballyconnel so  we finish earlier than the other people who don't live over here. At the end of the day,  we usually  meet at seven o'clock with Spanish and Irish people. 

I really like ireland...

Then we came back home and relaxed with a shower. At five we had dinner with our Irish family. I ate hamburger with potatoes. Finally, all the Spanish students and our Irish siblings met in the park. We had a wonderful time together!!!😃😊 By Gracia Flores , student at Claret School
