About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

School Trip To IRELAND

Time goes by quickly, very quickly!
A year ago I posted here about our school trip to London / England. Well, this year's school trip is obviously to an English-speaking country, but this time IRELAND - both to the Republic of Ireland where we will visit Dublin, Kilkenny and Wicklow, and Northern Ireland including The Giant's Causeway and, naturally, Belfast.
All the 22 participants from Soure (we will join another school group led by teachers Helena and Cláudia in Dublin) have high expectations so... we just hope everything will be fine - just like last year - not only during the day but also at night when some extra activities are already planned: an evening of Irish Music and Dance, Temple Bar area and... Hard Rock Cafe Dublin!!!
We can hardly wait for the day to come... wish us all the best in the crisis- stricken country (not different from our own!!!).
Have a look now at this video by the History Channel that so well portrays Ireland we are about to visit:

Hi Alexandra!
Wish you the best in Ireland! We have just arrived from Paris with 42 students and I hope you will have the same fun we had!
Next year I will have again classes so maybe we can plan something together!

I do wish you all the best in this trip to Ireland and (as some of you probably know) I am very very sad not to be able to go with this group. Maybe next time...
I hope you all enjoy the visit and have lots and lots of fun!
See you soon.

God speed! Have fun and a glance of another part of the world on the behalf of all who can't travel right now.

Big hug

My thoughts will also be with you -thanks you for your well-wishing!
Ya, I'm pretty sure all is going to be fine - perhaps only the weather will be naughty...
A big hug, Alex
