Hola..

So one of Mrs. Leahy's blog challenges is to write a blog post in another language, and well to be honest, I'm absolutely desparate at Irish- always have been- so I'll do mine in Spanish. Unlike some of the LAZY people beside me, I will write mine with minimal aid of Google Translate.. So I'll talk about myself?

Hola.. Me llamo Aoife. Tengo deciseis años, me cumpleaños es el doce de enero. Vivo en Celbridge y voy el colegio se llama St. Wolstan's.
Mi grupo favorito es The Coronas, me encanta su musica! fui a su concierto en El Olympia el año pasado con mi amiga.
En mi casa, mi habitación favorito es mi dormitorio. No comparto mi dormitorio con mis hermanos, gracias a dios!
En el verano, iré a vacaciones de Chicago en los Estados Unidos visitar mi familia. Tengo muchos ganas de verte mi primos pero no he visto ellos en un tiempo largo.

Tengo que ir porque el classe está terminado. ADIOS!!

Well yesterday we went on the Braveforce challenge which was a 3.5km obsticle course, and it was so much fun! I'm a bit of pain mind you, but I'd do it again if I had the option. It was really tough work don't get me wrong, but it was just hilarious, we were all so messy that we didn't care what we looked like, after walking through rivers and puddles and climbing over walls, you tend not to care too much. Our school WON!! No we didn't.. The whole other group finished before any of our school did, but I didn't really do it as a race, I just did it because it was so fun.

Here's the website if you want to have a look :)

Rwanda "Sometimes in April"

So this week is actually really busy! Yesterday we watched a movie called "Sometimes in April". It was a movie about the civil unrest in Rwanda, it was really heavy but I'm glad we watched it because I never really knew that it even happened, which is pretty disgraceful on my part considering so many people died because of it. It was really eye opening, seeing how the UN handled it and everything, not interfering because there was little or no political gain, it really bothers me, but I suppose that means the movie worked.
  Today we got our LC subject forms. Needless to say I'm panicing over this. I've chosen Tech, because well if i don't there will be no class and it was one of my choice more than likely anyway. Now I'm just stuck between Chemistry and Biology and  Business.. Stress of life. Tomorrow we have our assualt course aswell. That should be interesting to say the least...I'll blog about it when I've done it :)

Work experience!! :D

Hey :) I haven't blogged in a while because Blogger wasn't working properly on the school computers for some reason.. But I'm back! :D So last week was work experience, and I went to a Primary School which was really good! I was in the Junior infant class for the week. I actually forgot how often little kids tell on each other to the teacher! But It was really good because the kids were all really nice and all talked to me a lot, the teachers and staff were also really nice and made me feel really welcome.
Each day I got in at around 9am which is when the children all arrived; every morning the kids played games for about half an hour, and each morning I sat with a table and played a game with them. I don't think I can ever look at the game "Red Dog Blue Dog" the same again!

Then, they would start work and I would do different things everyday, sometimes I would get photocopying, sometimes I'd sort out their homework into their folders or sometimes I'd just help out by going around.
  Each day at lunch I would go out to yard at the same time as the kids, I'd just kind of walk around and talk to all the children and listen to stories about who push who.

  After school sometimes I went home with the Juniors at 1:40pm, but sometimes some of the teachers in the older classes asked us to help out with putting up or taking down displays on the notice boards around the school, which sometimes took quite a while and we wouldn't be leaving until about 3pm.
 
  Overall, I had a really good time, the school were really welcoming and I learnt a lot about being a teacher that you didn't see when you were younger and in school and it was good to see and maybe now I'll consider a career in teaching.

Well that's all for now,
Byee
Aoife :D
