GOOD JOB!

Hello Guys! 

I really hope that you had a great experience in Ireland. I just wanted to write a quick note to all of you to thank you for making this blog real. There are still some groups that need to upload their videos, but I suppose it is taking them more time than what I expected. I promise I will be patient, but please do you homework, ok?. Rememeber that this is a cooperative blog, so we all need to share our expertise on the topic: IRELAND :)

Apart from that, feel free to write whatever you want that is related to this trip: new expressions, feelings, magical moments, views, people you will never forget, thanks notes, etc.  

Good luck! Difficult study times are getting nearer, so be organised and responsible when considering what to do with your time...

Friday:

Today we've visited the Phoenix park.

The Phoenix park is a natural park of Dublin. It is one of the largest city parks. In the Phoenix park was the Wellington Monument.

The Wellington Monument has been build in order to commemorate Arthur Wellesley. It is the largest obelisk in Europe.                       

                                                        

In the park our partners explained the history of Celtic Symbols like: shamrock, irish harp, triskels... Then we have free time for shopping and at 13:15 we would have been the Academy.

                                 

After having dinner the teachers tooks us to another neigbourhood and we went to the beach.

Today we visited several places in Dublin. Firts of all we went to Dublinia and to an exposition about the Irish Independence War. 

Dublinia is a museum that tells the story of Dublin from the begining, when vikings arrived to the island of Ireland in the Middle Ages.

When vikings arrived they called it Dyflin. It was Olaf the white the leader of the group wich settled in these lands in 856.

In the Middle Ages there was a inequality between the rich and the poor people. There was a high mortality rate because there were a lot of epydemies such as black death.

Later we went to an Irish Independence War exposition. It happened in 1916, a hundred years ago, because Irish people wanted to be independent of England. It had lots of outfits of generals and important people of the army.

As the other days, we went to the academy. In our class we prepared a play for Friday. In the play, we have to use all the idioms that we've learnt such as:

1. play by ear.

2. It takes two to tango.

3. _____ rings a bell.

4. blood is thicker than water.

5. bite off more than you can chew.

6. every cloud has a silver lining.

7. face the music.

At the end of the day we went to Bray. It is a little village near Shankill, where we were staying. We had fun taking pictures on the beach and eating crêpes. 

Summing up, we had a perfect day.
