For Irish, we had Ms.Ryan for the first two weeks. We reviewed the 'Aimsir Chaite agus Aimsir Láithreach' (Past and Present Tenses). Then Ms.Foley - a student teacher – took over. We watched a short film called 'Yu Ming is ainm dom'. It was about a man from China who was unhappy with his life, so he learned Irish to be able to communicate with the Irish people. To his dismay, he could not talk to anyone! Here is the presentation Órla and I worked on – it is a summary of the film and a description of the main character;

Ms.Drew was our teacher for term two.
We focused on Irish drama - an Drámaíocht. We read a comic/short story called an Tóraíocht.
This is a story about a love triangle between Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Gráinne and Diarmuid, in which the men are fighting for Gráinne's affection.
We were asked by Ms.Drew to create a power point that summarises the story and elucidates the characters' traits.
'Next Summer...'
'The Concert'
'My Family and I'
