Ireland, the Emerald Isle
What are we going to do?
In this 2nd term we are going to travel to beautiful landscapes and interesting places. We are going to follow Irish history and try to understand "The Troubles"
and how peace was finally achieved.
We will also get to know famous Irish writers like Oscar Wilde or James Joyce and give answers to some questions such as why Irish people are called "paddies" or why we think about potatoes when we think about Ireland.
Ready? Let the fun begin!
