ENGLISH COURSE IN DUBLIN (IRELAND)

From the 7 th to the 13 th of March, 2º and 4º ESO students and four teachers travelled to Dublin to do an English course. The school we attended was Atlas School located in Portobello, quite near Dublin city centre.

We stayed with families, so we could get an idea of the Irish way of life. Apart from the classes, we also did different activities in order to practice English and get to know Dublin. For example, a treasure hunt, a selfie night or an Irish dance class. We also went cycling in Phoenix Park, one of the biggest public parks in Europe.

On Saturday, we visited Howth, a fishing village situated in Dublin bay. We went there by train and we walked around the village, the harbour, the viewpoint, the old church and cemetery. We also went shopping in the local market.

Sunday was the day to be with our families. On Monday we visited the Trinity College, the oldest and most famous University in Ireland. A Philosophy professor working there was our guide and we could learn a lot of facts about the origin and the present of this wonderful university.

It was a great and unforgettable experience for all of us. We practiced English, made new friends and had a lot of fun.

Here you can see some pictures of our journey to Ireland.
