Comenius Project

Muinteoir Cepta and Karin Joyce are currently visiting Germany and Belgium for the Comenius project. They visited Belgium first. In Belgium, they went to a chocolate factory. They saw where they packaged Belgian chocolate. The following day, they enjoyed a school concert and after tried traditional Belgian waffles. We skyped Muinteoir Cepta and Karin as a school at the airport before they departed for Germany.  We enjoyed hearing their stories and speaking with other teacher from the other Comenius schools. They are currently in Germany and will be returning to Ireland at the weekend.  This is the last trip of this Comenius Project. All of the pupils here in St. Theresa’s N.S.  have enjoyed this experience and would love to do it again.
