Well this week was very eventful. I did lots of school and lots of traveling. In school I introduced a few new PE activities to the students in using a parachute with a game called popcorn. I also showed them a game focused on teamwork. I let the students pick the name and they picked chain link. The students lock at the arms and i put a hula hop on one end of the students who are in a line. They have to get the hoop through the line without breaking the lock and without using any hands. I divide a class into two teams and they compete or I make the class into 4 teams and they play a round robin tournament. It is a lot of fun and teaches flexibility and teamwork.
In the traveling part I visited Glendalough which is an old church/graveyard. The church came about in the 1200's and parts of it are still standing. The next day I visited Sally Gap where the scenery is amazing and you can see mountains for miles and we visited The Great Sugar Loaf. On 11/18 Brett and I went to a pub to watch the World Cup qualifier for Ireland and France. The game ended in a controversial call that the refs did not see. It has been all over the news all week.
On 11/20 Brett and I went to Dublin for the night and caught a bus to Belfast for the weekend. We made it a weekend through Tuesday because the teachers in Ireland were on strike that day because their wages have been cut. In out trip we visited The Giant's Causeway, The Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle and The Bushmills Distillery. The sights are unreal and amazing. I can not explain the sights because they are unreal so here are some pictures.
