All about school...

The first day of school went well! We took a bus to the school becuase we weren't sure where it was. After getting on the bus and waiting about five or six minutes before getting up enough courage to ask someone which stop the school was, we had missed it. We asked a younger girl and she said oh love you missed it, its back over the bridge two stops ago. haha! We walked home though.. not to bad about 15-20 mins!

School was good we met our principal and teacher, and both were really nice! My teacher is young and soo nice. I can understand her really well too. Since it is close to St. Pattys day the girls are studying Irish. I am in an all gilrs school by the way, if you didnt know haha! I am in first class which means first grade here.
So we had stations where the girls learned different things about the Irish heritage and history. The teacher was only speacking in Gaelic which was really cool! They had Irish dancing and singing, it was so cool! We then had a 15 mins break which was in the teachers lounge. I thought this was lunch but it wasn't haha! I was trying to eat so fast! I didn't know that we would have another 30 mins break for lunch hah!

Also, I do not drink coffee or tea which is big over here. So on the short break everyone was offering me tea or coffee so I tried to make a tea which I didn't know how so I felt like an idiot haha!!!!

The girls are all really cute and nice. They love hanging all over me and they are always holding my hand! I think that is all I have to tell you oh and I learned some new irish words:

Rubbish- Trash
Footpath-sidewalk
there were other ones but I cant think of them right now!!!

  1. The pictures from school are great, it looks really nice and I just love the little girls pink and grey sweat shirts and pants. I'm sure they love their new teacher Miss. McArdle.
