Saturday 25th

For a real immersion experience with locals, what better than a running morning at Muckross Park organized by Parkrun Killarney...

And after a coffe with some locals, let's visit the most interesting spots around Killarney:

Muckross House

Torc Fall

Ladies View

Ross Castel

And at 2pm, a nice surprise!

Not only carriages in Seville!

At 18:00h, Christmas Parade in Killarney...

And in the evening...

Such a funny play... even without understanding half of the jokes because of the strong Irish accent and the local context! 

A day full of local experiences!

Friday 24th - Killorglin CC

But before school a short visit to the Gap of Dunloe that is in the way...
Amazing landscape! It has to be fantastic  in a sunny day!! Unfortunatly I had to enjoy it under the rain, anyway, was worth it to visit!


14:00h - Home Economics 1st Year

Interesting class!
There is something we don't have in Spain and that I have seen is popular in most other European countries, Iceland, Finland, Norway... We should have something similar...
They don't only cook or sew, but learn general things related with housing: how to use a washing machine, how to read some labels... Things that nobody teachs us and normally we learn ourselves... or not!

Would you know the meaning of all these symbols? ;-)

  12:00 - 5th Year Spanish with Saoirse 

Only 6 students in the classroom. They enjoyed my presentation although some of them were a bit shy to participate, specially in Spanish...

12:40 - 2nd Year ICT with Gavin

Working on WeVideo
Second Year students, 13 years old, were practicing with this application. Later, they will have to create a video with their own material, photos and records, to participate in a national competition...
That's an interesting alternative for Movie Maker!

From 13:20 to 14:00 they have a break for lunch. Some students go home but most remain at school and eat a sandwich they bring from home or they buy something at school. There is not a real cantine, just a woman cooking hot sandwiches and a common place to stay...

14:00 - 1st Year Spanish with Saoirse

More than 20 students this time. I do my presentation mostly in English because it is the first year they study Spanish and they only know a few words... They are very enthusiastic about it, they asked me a lot of questions...

14:40 - "College Awarness Week" - room 21

Very interesting talks from "old students" that are now at university or working in a company to promote and encourage students of 6th Year.
