IRISH CULTURE

On Thursday we did many things, but we had a problem, the weather.  

In the morning we had classes as usually. To start with, we did extra vocabulary such as metaphors and then, we had a break.

After  that, we sang two Irish songs: Galway Girl and Fields of Athenry. Following this, we ate a sandwich and we started doing the afternoon activities about Irish Culture. 

Firstly, we listened to some typical Irish songs played by Brendan (violin + guitar) and Edward (guitar). Later, Brendan explained that some instruments are indigenous from Ireland, such as: the bodhran, the harp and the Irish pipes. He also taught us about the different kinds of Irish music, which are the jig and the reel. 

Secondly, we danced some Irish songs with Brid, our coordinator. It was a very interesting experience. 

Finally, we wanted to play Gaelic football but the weather didn't let us play. As I said before, the weather is a very big factor here that we have to consider when we do outdoor activities. Instead of Gaelic football, we watched a film that was quite interesting and we ate a lot of popcorn!
