The past five weeks at school have been busy as always, but really good! My school had a mockstead, where we were graded as 'good'! This is a huge achievement for us. Our hard work was recognized and all the staff were extremely happy. My kids have enjoyed their pirate topic very much... and I have as well! I didn't know a lot about pirates to start and it is so wonderful when my kids come in every morning to tell me something new they have learnt about pirates! They continue to be the sweetest class I could have asked for :)
I have spent a few weekends in London this half term, taking a trip to Gordon's obviously with Jess and Demi, and another football game yesterday with my parents and Josh.
Two weekends ago, Josh and I booked a trip to Dublin! It was bank holiday weekend here in the UK so we took full advantage! It was a really fun trip, regardless of the fact it poured all weekend. I have always wanted to go to Ireland and was so happy to finally get there! We hopped on a plane Friday night after school and arrived in Dublin around 10:30. We were so tired that we went to sleep right away in our lovely hotel, Clyde Court. We woke up early the next morning and walked 15 minutes to catch the Hop On, Hop Off bus. There was a bus strike in Dublin the weekend we were there, so city buses weren't running. On the Saturday we went to the Guinness Storehouse, where we tasted and poured our own pint of Guinness. It actually tasted pretty good!! We then went back on the bus and went to Temple Bar, a restaurant and party area of Dublin. After a great night of eating, drinking and dancing we cabbed back to the hotel! Sunday morning was a little rough but the night made it worth it! We went to a famous jail on Sunday and I really enjoyed learning about all the history. They spell jail 'Gaol'. So neat! We then went back to Temple Bar area for dinner and drinks. Our flight back to Gatwick left the next morning at 7, so we had an early night.
It was so fun to get away for the weekend! We had so much fun that Josh booked him and I a trip to Poland for my birthday!! Since I am going to Taylor Swift the weekend of my actual birthday, we are going the weekend before. I have always wanted to go to Poland and I cannot wait!!!
Over half term break, I am going to Scotland with my parents for 5 days, which will be amazing! I have caught the travel bug and I am already planning my trips for next year!!!
