My degree is in Childcare so they were asking me about that. They asked what I'm going to do at the weekend. Am I going on hols. How did I prepare for the interview. Did I ever go to a Gaeltacht or a Gaelscoil. What would I do If I was a principal in a Gaelscoil. Their ques did throw me a bit as they asked me about the Child care curriculum. I just didn't think they would ask me that.. You will be fine. What are you preparing?

They are actually lovely. How did u get on with your grinds? I'm moving house next week.. So I may talk in Irish whilst I'm packing =/

Im wondering how much room there are for errors. Im trying to shove MC into general chit chat so they might avoid asking me a ridiculous question! Some of them are awful. Id definately be caught on the hop for some of them because all I know is what to say iv I had loads of money! However I presume they arent looking for long winded answers. Have you had any news on interview? Do you mind me asking what you were asked in froebel? I am doing english at the mo and trying to have some words in irish too that il hopefully be able to fit them into sentences! Reading the english is so interesting.. It really confirms that this is what I want to do

More time for us to revise I suppose. How are you getting on with it all? Im finding the Irish a bit tough, been so long since I spoke it!!!!
