The Comenius project meeting was held in Ireland, Colaiste Chraobh Abhanni School, 18.-22. November.
On Wednesday we came to school with our luggage and after two first lessons we left for Tallinn Airport. The first flight was to Copenhagen. From Copenhagen we caught a plane to Dublin. In Dublin we were welcomed by an Irish teacher Ruth. From Dublin we went to Bray on a bus. The teachers stayed in hotel "Royal" while the students were taken to their host families. On Thursday morning we went to Colaiste Chraobh Abhanni School. There were a lot of students and they all had the same school uniforms. There were also a lot of exchange students from different parts of the world.
The feedback of "Switch Off" campaign was given in Media classroom where each school presented their results on energy savings. The students also attended classes. After lunch we went to Glendalough National Park where due to bad weather walking tour was canceled. Instead we visited the museum and watched a 5 minute movie about the history of nearby buildings and history. After that we visited a Christmas gift shop. Then we returned to school where students were picked up by their host families and teachers taken to their hotel.
On Friday morning we gathered in school again and students took part in classes while the teachers were having a project meeting in the music class. After that we went to see the tallest waterfall in Ireland which is 121m high. Later we our sightseeing tour continues in Powerscourt Manor and park. There we had a chance to walk around the park and see beautiful ponds and lakes, in addition to the sculptures. We also had lunch in the castle cafe. When we had eaten, a group photo was taken. After that we went back to school and students could experience making scones. After tea break we went into the music class where we were taught an Irish folk dance. In the evening we got together again in a fancy restaurant where we could order a three course meal.
On Saturday we went to Dublin by train. Our sightseeing day started with a bus tour. It was an open top double-decker. After the bus tour everyone got an hour to explore the city. We were also supposed to see a prison, but due to bad weather the trip was cancelled. After that we headed to the train station to catch a train back to the hotel and host families. Some of the students and teachers got off in Bray, the other in Greystone.
