Top Ten Things we Did in Ireland

By: Zoe

10. Limerick

I liked Limerick because we got to write limericks in Limerick and we went to a limerick writing contest. My favourite limerick was one about a bee. It came in third place. Here is my limerick:

I went to Ireland,And wanted to join a band.

I played the drum,But hurt my thumb.

And I didn’t feel so grand.

9. Dublin

Dublin is on my top ten list because it was our first city we went to. We also went on a tour that was fun because the tour guide sang for us. What I thought was interesting were the bunk beds in our hostel because they were lime green!

8. Bunratty Castle

We went to Bunratty Castle, and what I liked about it was the dungeon. It had steep narrow stairs and low ceilings. It was very dark and spooky. The prisoner would not be able to get out because after the eleventh step there was a big drop and the wall would be too high for them to climb out.

7. Cliffs of Moher

Crash, splash, moo. Can you hear the waves crashing against the cliff and the cows mooing while grazing? Those are the main sounds at the Cliffs of Moher. It was so relaxing we nearly fell asleep after lunch!

6. County Mayo

Playing, jumping, and running oh my! In County Mayo we made great friends. We had so much fun and slept in a bunkbed! We went on a long walk and saw most things a giant might have.

5. Blarney CastleI like castles, but the one I really liked in Ireland was the Blarney Castle. That is exactly where we kissed the Blarney Stone. While we were walking up I really liked the spiral staircase because it was narrow and stone and you had to hold onto a rope to stay up and not fall. To kiss the Blarney Stone I really liked being upside down really high up with just bars and someone who keeps you in place and tells you what to do. We had to lie down grab on to two bars and pull yourself towards it.

4. Blackcurrant Cordial

Don't get mixed up like Anne of Green Gables did with sherry! Blackcurrant cordial is so sweet, it is so good on ice cream! I made it with some help from my family and had a lot of fun making it. I really liked going out and picking the berries and waving to all the cars that passed and see if they waved back.

3. Carrick-a-Rede

I like the word Carrick-a-Rede. If you are wondering what is there that I liked, it is a rope bridge on the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland. It was not scary but lots of fun! I liked seeing the water flow under me.

2. The House and Cats

I love living in the Country. At this house in thecountry there were three cats that lived there named Jack, Sam and Kitty. They were so good and cuddly. The garden was also huge and we could run and play with lots of space.

1. Giants Causeway

The Giants Causeway is my favourite place we went to because the man on the audio tour was funny and told us the story of how Finn McCool made the causeway, as well as Humphrey the Camel and Granny.
