The trip started on Monday 13th of June. We travelled from Åkra to Flesland in Bergen by car. Then we took a plane from Flesland to Copenhagen and further to Dublin. In Dublin a taxi was waiting for us. The taxi took us to a hotel. The host families came to the hotel and drove us back to their homes. I and Maren stayed with Hannah O’Connor. Their house was beautiful. It seemed like a Norwegian castle.
Celebration at school
On Tuesday 14th of June we went to the school. We stayed at the school for some hours, and then we travelled to Kilkenny castle. The castle was around 800 years old. On the back of the castle was a big fountain. Inside the castle you were not allowed to take photos.
On the evening it was a party on the school. It was because they opened a new classroom at the school. And they also hoisted the green flag St. Brendan´s School had earned after hard work on environmental planning. This was also the last gathering in connection of the Comenius project. School kids from each of the three schools planted a flower each and they unveiled a plate in the park to remember the project. It was also a big and a small bouncy castle at the school, and all the kids had a blast.
