French speed chatting

On Thursday we had a french speed chatting afternoon in salesians boys school in Celbridge.
We had to go to the boys school after our lunch. We got to their school and then we sat down in front of someone and then we would talk to them for two minutes in french. I was very nervous at the start but I soon got the hang of it and became more comfortable speaking french to different people.
I really enjoyed myself and I think it has improved my french orals.

Lá Glas

Bhí seachtain na gaeilge an seachtain seo caite mar bhí sé lá St. Patricks ar dé Máirt , agus ar an Aoine bhí gach duine sa scoil ag caitheamh glas. Bhi mé ag caitheamh geansaí Cill Dara.
 Bhí paráid beag ag an lón. An chuid is fearr cóirithe bhí roghnaíodh ansin ag an muinteoir agus fuair siad duaiseanna. Bhí freisin damhsóirí na hÉireann a bhí ar fheabhas.

Busy Week

This week has been a very busy and enjoyable week.
On Monday we had a percussion workshop for the day. A man called David came in to our school and brought a jembe for each of us to learn on. This workshop was very fun as we got to learn about the background of the jembe and got to make our own music. We learned about what the jembe was made of which is wood, goat skin and animal fur.

On Tuesday we had our first two classes and then after break we went to the cinema to see Selma. The movie is about a Martin Luther King's campaign in Selma to insure equal voting rights. The famous march was from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965. After this we went home and Eve, Ellen, Eimear, Hannah, Alison and I went to Peter Pan on ice in the Bord Gais because they had won tickets when we went to elf. It was very enjoyable and the tricks they did on the ice, on ropes and with fire were all amazing. It made all of us want to become professional ice skaters. We saw the proformers outside when we were going home but we were too afraid to go up to them.
