Derek Breen visits our class!

16/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Well hadn't we a very productive English class this week?! Last week, I met a wonderfully charismatic American in Brussels and found myself deep in conversation! Turns out ye can't turn sideways in this world without running into someone who knows the Mighty Microsoft Man, Stephen Howell. As luck would have it, Derek was to spend the week travelling Ireland, promoting his book 'Scratch for Kids'. He was kind enough to stop in to St. Oliver's and teach us a thing or two about Scratch and storytelling. We really enjoyed our visit from our American friend and we look forward to seeing him for a cyber meet-up very soon ;)

This week, we have been focusing on everything Irish in English! We really enjoyed watching this clip about Ireland by Failte Ireland. We answered some questions on it and for homework, we have to design a tourism advert for a billboard. 

We couldn't let this week pass without sharing this picture of Dominka though! Check out her beautiful earrings ;-)

We have been studying The Daffodils by William Wordsworth in class this week. This poem is filled with beautiful images of daffodils and reminds us of a warm, sunny day. With all the cold weather, this poem has really managed to cheer us up! We have been answering a lot of questions about the poem in class but we wanted to share our visual representations of the poem with you!
