The group of Norwegians, English and Irish pupils had a blast on June 15 doing water sports activities all afternoon.
Mikal and Heidi here: We are going to tell you about Wednesday the 15 June when we were in Waterford. First we got wetsuits, buoyancy and helmets. Then we went into the canoes and learned how to paddle. We tried to stand in the canoes and then someone fell off. Then we paddled into a beach and had a paddle boat relay. Then everybody went on a speedboat after turns. When the first group were in the speedboat, the others played a game called sandy beach. It was to look most sandy. The three who was most sandy choose a person that they could dig down in the sand. And of course they choose me (Heidi) because I was not so sandy. Everybody went for a swim to get off the sand, but did not get everything off. Then we paddled into the center. We thought it was an amazing experience.

Hello, Grace here.
We are very happy that you enjoyed your visit to Ireland and to Dun More East in Waterford. The pictures are very nice and I think it shows just what the Comenius
trips are about, friendship and unity. I really hope that you did enjoy your visit to Ireland and hopefully you will return to Ireland in the future.
Hope to talk to you again,
Grace
