FRIDAY 20TH JANUARY

By Alejandro Engel

    Dia dúit (which means 'good morning' in Gaelic) from Ireland!! I can not believe we have already been here for 8 days, time goes by really fast when you are having a good time.Today has been one of the most enjoyable days of school.

   Well, friday here is the shortest day of school so much so that we get out of school at 1:15 pm. In the first class we had today we learnt a few of a new language for some of us: French. Which is pretty similar to the Spanish language therefore we can learnt French faster than other people. After French we had some free time, so we went to the playground and some of us played football while others played volleyball. Afterwards, we went to the computers room where we play Kahoot. Which is one of the best apps to learn new things in a funny way. In the last four hours of school we had Irish Culture. In order to have a different class we went to a kind of pavilion where we learn how to dance some tradicional Irish dances and we also dance some of our Spanish traditional dances. After dancing we had the break time in the pavilion all together. When the break time ended we continued playing games there and having lots of fun with the Irish students.

When school finished we hop on the bus and we returned with our host families. When I arrived home with my host brother Fernando, we played pool we ate some tosties because otherwise we would not be able to wait until six to have dinner. Afterward we play some PS4 and we watch a film. We had dinner at six, and because is Friday we ate take away because all fridays night my host family (which by the way is lovely) has the habit to eat take away food. After dinner we continue playing PS4 until seven when we got dressed and we went walking to the park which is close to our house. Once there, we met all the Spanish students and we talked and we laughed together until ten o’clock. When we returned home we take a shower and now we will go to bed because my host brother Fernando has a football match tomorrow early in the morning.

Slán(which means goodbye in Gaelic)
