Dissolving Boundaries (December-2009)
This year 1B and 1C classes are taking part in the Dissolving Boundaries project.
On Monday 30th November first year girls (1B and 1C) travelled to Our Lady's Grammar School in Newry with Ms Eda Walshe, Ms Shirley Higgins and Mrs Carmel Dudley. We left our school at 9.45am and arrived in Newry at 11.20am. We were greeted at Our Lady's Grammar School by Ms Louise O Hare who is co-ordinating the project with the students from Newry. We went to see 'My Fair Lady' in the school.The girls were brilliant and the costumes were amazing. We had our lunch with the girls at 1pm. We had known a little about each other as we had been communicating already via Forums on the Dissolving Boundaries website. We also gave the girls a DVD of ourselves and the aim of this DVD is to teach the girls some sign language. We hope to continue this and make another DVD for the students in Newry. After lunch we went back to see the second half of 'My Fair Lady' which was once again excellent. Once the show was finished we went back to the cafe and we got into our groups where we chatted and we took each other's mobile phone numbers. We taught the girls a few new signs in ISL. Then Ms Louise O Hare told us that she had ordered Pizzas for us so we were thrilled to get this treat before we went back to Dublin. We plan to have another face-to-face meeting in April when the girls from Newry come to visit us in Dublin.
