A2 Excursion to the Howth Cliff Walk. We took the Red Line from Jervis to Connolly Station, then the train to Howth. We walked to the first lookout point, and returned. This was plenty of time for the AM class, but would be cutting it close, if even possible--for PM. Students were given nature-related vocabulary during the week.

B1 excursion to the Botanic Garden. We took the 83A bus which left us just by the gate. I asked the students to take pictures of 3 features (trees, plants, flowers) that they liked and write one sentence about each of them using the vocabulary relating to botanics provided previously in class.

B2 Excursion to the Botanic Garden. We took the bus 83A and it was a 10mins commute. The afternoon was gorgeous, and the students enjoyed the sunlight while looking for features they might be interested in. I asked them to take pictures of 3 plants/flowers/animals and then write a sentence about each of them. Same procedure as before with B1, but with improved vocabulary. They really enjoyed it.

Popped on the train from Connolly Station to Malahide. Allowed students about 10 minutes to grab food together from SuperValue before walking down to the beach. We had a wee picnic on the beach. It was almost everyone's first time in Malahide, and everyone's first time dipping their toes into the water!

Took the train to Sandycove & Glasthule and walked about 15 minutes to Forty Foot. We set up camp with towels and water and fruit. A few students jumped in! :D After drying off, we headed to Teddy's for 99s before hopping back on the train.

We took the green line to Harcourt and shopped around, exploring pretty much every charity shop from Portobello to Capel Street. Students have been studying / discussing fashion all week. (Adjectives to describe fashion, fast fashion, clothes we buy but never wear). In small groups, students chose a model to buy clothes for (€3-4 pp), and had to style them with garments found in op-shops. The next day, we had a fashion show, students had to describe the outfits they chose and why. They then had to create a mood board and additional outfits for their line on Canva.

We walked to the National Gallery, where the students had to choose six paintings to take a picture of and complete a fact file with the name and year of the painting, the name of the painter and write a simple sentence about it. Then, we walked to Merrion Square Park, where the students visited food stalls from different parts of the world and chose something to eat. It was a very enjoyable morning! :)

We went to Collins Barracks this morning and my B1 students had the chance to practise some of their new vocabulary related to Conditionals/nature.

The Ss had a wonderful time trying to guess what had happened to all those animals and learning more about Irish Natural History.

A2 Excursion to IMMA. We took the red luas and went straight to the Museum. The Ss had seen the website with information regarding the expositions at Museum beforehand, so they knew what to expect. They choose their favourite pieces of art and took pictures. After, they shared their pictures with the group and wrote sentences about them.

A1 class walked to Collins Barracks Museum to look at the animals, identify them and then write positive and negative sentences in the present simple.
