An Irish Diary 4L school trip Bray, Dublin 20 th - 26 th November 2011

21st November 2011
Today it was the second day here in Bray.
Yesterday it was a fantastic day because we met our host families: my family is really nice! This morning we went to school and we met our teachers: Aoife and Karen. They’re both very kind and lovely.
After having lunch by the sea, we took the Dart to Dublin, where we visited Trinity College and we saw the Book of Kells. What I liked best was the “Long Room” : a big library that contains more than 200,000 books, it was amazing! Then we went shopping in Henry Street before going back to Bray.
While we were having dinner we told our host family what we had done during the day.
Now we’re very tired but also happy, so we go to bed.
I hope every day will be like today! Anna

Today we went to school at 9.00 a.m.: with the first teacher, Aoife, we talked about different types of problems and then, with Karen, we did our radio program…it was really funny! At the end of the lessons we sang for the 2 teachers and then they gave us the certificate!
At 12.30 a.m. we had lunch by the sea and at 1.00 p.m. we went to Dublin by Dart.
In the city we visited the “City Hall”, “Dublin Castle” and finally we went shopping!!
Now I’m going with my classmates to the traditional Irish dancing… I think that it will be really amusing!
This is the last day here and I’m really sad but also happy because this trip has been really amazing, interesting and of course I’d like to do it again!

My dear diary,
Today in the morning we caught the airplane and we went to Ireland, to Bray. Bray is a little village by the sea, it is very lovely and not very crowded… I love it!!
When we arrived in Bray, after more or less four hours, my host family father, welcomed us and showed us the house. After lunch, my roommate Fabiana and I went to the beach and took a lot of photos… I was very happy and I liked the place very much.
Fabiana and I came back at 5.00 p.m. and after that we had a shower, we met the rest of the family: Katrin, my host family mother; Lilly Kate, a ten years old girl; Keka, a Spanish girl and Joe, a 16 years old musician. They are a very nice family. We had dinner at 7.30 p.m. and after that we played with the girls and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
Now we are very tired and we are going to go to bed. I hope to have very nice days here.
Good night my dear diary.
xxx,
Marta

Hi my little Irish Diary!
Last week I lived with an Irish family! Bridget is an housewife, Mike, her husband ,is a school principal and their daughter Kate is a student.
Every morning I and Stefania (my roommate) went to school, where we stayed from 9.00 o'clock to 12:20.
Later all the class ate together and at 1.00 p.m we met teacher Ciceroni and teacher Ghilardi to go to Dublin. We visited Dublin Castle, Guinness Store House, Writers‘ Museum, Trinity College...
I love the green, the wind, the clouds, the blue sky of Ireland! I miss getting up at 7.30 a.m, eat soda bread and scones for breakfast, having the school break on the rocky beach, singing “Molly Malone”...
Before I left Bergamo my grandmother said to me: <<When you will be elderly, you will remember these beautiful experience!>>. It's true!
Thanks Ms Ciceroni!

In the morning we had lessons from 9.00 a.m. to 12.20 p.m.
Then we had lunch altogether on the beach and at 1.40 p.m. we took the DART to Dublin.
We arrived there, we saw Oscar Wilde’s house and then we visited Trinity College. Here we saw the Book of Kells and, on the second floor, the Old Library. We also went to the Bank of Ireland, we walked on Ha’ Penny Bridge and finally we saw the Spire and the General Post Office.
At the end of the day, we went shopping along O’Connell Street and to the Hard Rock Cafè.
We bought many things and we enjoyed it very much!

My dear diary,
Today it was my first day here in Bray. This morning I went to school with my friends and it was very nice to walk near the sea.
At 12.20 am, when our English lesson finished, we ate our delicious sandwiches on the beach; after that we took the Dart and we arrived in Dublin.
Firstly, we visited Trinity College, then we saw the Book of Kells, one of the oldest books in the world; here there was a very big library where there were a lot of old books and statues. After that, with our guide David, we visited the GPO (General Post Office) and the Bank of Ireland.
Finally, we took the Dart to return to Bray where there were our host families who waited for us. It was a fantastic day and also the weather was good. Dublin is a really beautiful city!
Kiss,
Stefania

Dear diary,
Today, Friday 26th, is the last day in Dublin. We have had a good week, but I am really happy to go back home.
But before leaving we have to visit again Dublin to see the Castle. It has only a tower and a small palace left from the medieval castle. It seems just a manor house, in fact the guide told us that the castle was rebuilt. But it is interesting anyway.
Then we had the last fifty-five minutes to go shopping. I bought everything the other days so I sent my last postcards and I walked quietly, admiring the road. It was already decorated for Christmas. I hated it because I feel sad and homesick. After that we returned to Bray.
The program for the evening was a fast dinner and the dances. But I spent the time taking photos, because I don’t like dancing.
When we returned home, we had to pack and then we finally slept for two hours, because our pick up was scheduled at a 3.15 a.m.!

This morning we went to school from 9.00 a.m to 12.20 p.m where we improved our radio program which we began yesterday and we are going to record tomorrow.Then, like everyday, we ate our delicious sandwiches by the sea. What a wonderful view!
After that we caught the Dart at 1.00 p.m to go to Dublin where today we have visited the famous Guinness Storehouse: seven floors and on the last one we had a beautiful view of the town, but unfortunately we couldn't drink any beer!
Finally, we took the bus to go to Grafton Street, where there is the statue of Molly Malone that we studied at school, and we went shopping in the big shops. At around 7.00 p.m we arrived at home where "fish and chips" was waiting for us!
We really had a great time!!
