Only 10 days left

The aim of the lesson

• Plan for our days in Dublin
• See the importance of school trips
• Discuss the importance of speaking English when we are in Ireland
• Learn some new words based on two famous Dublin songs
• If there is time- do a quiz about Dublin

Today we need to look at the planning for our Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning in Dublin.

The Aquatic Centre is a bus journey of 50 minutes plus a walk of 20-30 minutes.

The bus ticket is not expensive but it means if we leave our hostel at 09.00 we won't be there until 10.30. Spend some hours there and then we won't be back in Dublin until about 15.30.


We are buying a Dublin pass which costs much  more than going into the aquatic centre. Can we do a bus tour in the afternoon before you get some free time?

Those going to the zoo can use the Dublin Pass much more and maybe see several things

On the Monday we have a couple of hours between 9.30 and 11.30. Then we need to eat an early lunch and our bus leaves for Wexford at 12.50 with Wexford Bus
