3rd Weekend- Mini golf and Dunbrum Shopping Centre

Hello again!!

This past week we have had some nice achievements.
Two of our students have been selected as STUDENT OF THE WEEK by their schools.

First of all, Jorge Puig's was awarded students of the week by his school St. Cronan's.
Congratulations Jorge, keep the hard work!!

And last but not least, Tomás Postigo, students at Saint Kevin's B.N.S, was entitled as the student of the week.

He made a speech, in English of course, about his family. Congratulations to you, buddie!! Way to go!!

After assisting to Holy Mass at Our Lady Queen of Peace, we headed to Dundrum's town, exactly to Dundrum Shopping Center.

Where we played a really cool Mini golf which was set as a rainforest. It was really amazing. It had sound effects and even monkeys hanging on the trees (the monkeys weren't real but they seemed so). Along the game, there were some posts which explained curiosities from the Mayan and Aztec cultures such as the Mayan calendar and the gods they use to believe in.

Special mention to Pablo Gutierrez, Bosco de Arquer, and Ignacio Benavides, they showed some technique. 

After having lunch outside the local we organized our selves into squads since we were about to enter one of the biggest Shopping Center in Europe. So every hour we would meet at our accorded meeting point. they loved doing some shopping!!!

                                      

See you next week for more adventures!!

Galery!

2nd Week- Trim Castle

Hello again! It's been two weeks already and it's amazing how the students are adapting.This week we began to go to Rockbrook in the afternoon. We study English, solve doubts and play a while.

Every other Thursday we meet all together, this was our first meeting.
It was nice outside so the boys enjoyed playing a football match.

On Saturday was very very sunny day, it really looked like we were in Spain.
We went to visit Trim Castle. We found out that the famous Braveheart used that castle for the film.
After visiting the castle, we bought some ice-cream and the famous Millions (candy) and went to a green to play and run.

We had a great week!!

ARRIVAL AND BOWLING - 1st WEEK

Although we arrived with some delay we finally can say: WE ARE HERE!!!

After Santiago picked us up from the airport we headed to Rockbrook International School, where we received a warm welcome from the Principal, Luis Hernandez and who explained to the kids the main rules and the main things of Ireland just before they were picked up by their host families.

It’s been a week full of changes, new home, new school, new friends, new teachers; and full of rain…Oh, rain!

The boys are divided into 4 schools: Ballyroan’s B.N.S, St. Mary’s B.N.S, St. Kevin’s B.N.S and St. Cronan’s B.N.S.

Finally, Saturday is here, and we met to our weekly plan, it was supposed to rain so we went to bray’s Bowling. Where the kids enjoyed the bowls, Ignacio Benavides and Enric Rodríguez showed their magic throwing the ball, and we played three games of laser tag what a blast!! After that, they had some free time to play with the machines. To end the day we had a walk on the beach, some of the boys saw the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.

What a week!!! See you soon!!
