Bhuel, inniu an chéad lá oifigiúil de na laethanta saoire domsa! Chaitheas an tseachtain seo caite ag freastal ar chúrsa samhraidh dar theideal "Pathways to 1916". Tá an-shuim go deo agam sa stair agus is aoibhinn liom í a mhúineadh. Le ceiliúradh 100 bliana ag teacht an bhliain seo chugainn ba thráthúil an ama é seo a dhéanamh. Seo an chéad bhliain le fada go ndearna mé ceann in ionad seachas ar líne.
Woohoo, today is my first official day on holidays! Last week was spent attending a summer course entitled 'Pathways to 1916'. I love all things history and am passionate about teaching it. With the 100 year anniversary of the 1916 Rising fast approaching I decided that this would be a worthwhile course to attend. This is the first summer in quite a while that I have chosen to attend a face-to-face course as opposed to an online course.
Thaitin an idirghníomhaíocht leis na múinteoirí eile go mór liom, bhí an-chuid craic againn agus d'fhoghlaimíomar go leor óna chéile... níor thaitin an éirí ar maidin liom ... ach sin scéal eile! D'fhoghlaim mé an-chuid agus tugadh go leor smaointe iontacha dúinn mar aon le hábhar choincréiteach. Tá an spreagadh faighte agam ceachtanna éagsúla bunaithe ar an Éirí Amach a chur le chéile don scoilbhliain atá romhainn.
I loved the interaction with my fellow teachers on the course, we had great craic and shared lots of ideas with each other ... but I didn't love getting up in the mornings! I learned an awful lot about the Rising and we were provided with a whole plethora of different ideas and concrete materials. I'm totally inspired and have lots of ideas for how to teach the Rising during the coming school year.
