Aoife's Life in Ireland

How do you get to school? Are you allowed to go to school by yourself?:

I drive with my mom who works at the school. There isn't a sidewalk to get to my school. Some kids take the bus.

Where do you eat lunch? What is your favorite food?:

I eat lunch at school. I love pasta! For school, my mom sometimes makes food for me and sometimes I get lunch at school. School food isn't very good.

What language do you speak at school? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

In my school, we speak English and Irish. Most classes are in English and we have Irish classes. My friend's school speaks only in Irish and she likes it. In Gaelic/Irish, "Hello" is "Dia dhuit."

What are some common kids' names at your school?:

My friend's names are Nial, Emma, Liam, Saoirse and Isabelle. There are some kids named Jack and Conor. There are three Patricks. Oh, and Sean and Fionn. I have some old friends named Holly and Chloe.

What subjects do you study in school, and which one is your favorite?:

We study math, English, Irish and history. We have PE class and music. When you get older there are more classes. I like music because my teacher is so nice and we don't have tests.

What is your homework like?:

When I get home after school, my mom makes me start my homework right away. It's not too terrible, but I think we shouldn't have any homework! That's what school's for.

What do you like to do after school? Do you have a favorite sport or game?:

My friends and I like to go to the park and play different games. I like soccer, but the boys really like hurling.
