國旗解說

國旗的綠色代表土著克爾特族（Celts）及諾曼系的居民；橙色代表在十七世紀末的戰爭中支援奧倫治侯爵威廉王的人們，即英格蘭、蘇格蘭居民；白色表示他們之間的兄弟之愛。另一種詮釋充滿了基督的博愛精神：綠色是愛爾蘭信仰天主教的人的標誌，橙色則代表英國國教派，白色象徵希望，希望天主教徒和英國國教徒之間永久休戰，團結友愛。

We received an e-mail from our Class Pal from Ireland!!! They have plenty of beautiful animals, exciting sports and cool weather.  Here in Taiwan is just like summer (average temperture in Kaohsiung 22-32 celsius degree. We have a lot of great fruits in Taiwan and many pretty animals in the mountains.  Children here play basketball, dodgeball and baseball a lot.  We will also send class messages via this platform and keep in touch!

Dear G5

Hi everyone!
We are 6th class (11-12) in Dublin, Ireland. We are a mixed school (boys and girls) and we have 24 people in our class.

In Ireland the weather is a bit rainy and windy now. Although there were hailstones last night. What's the weather like where you are?

What kind of animals do you have in Taiwan? In Ireland we have deer, foxes, many types of birds including seagulls, robins and magpies and squirrels!

In Ireland we love to play sports. We have three of our own sports called Gaelic football, hurling and camogie (which is hurling for girls). We also play rugby and football. We have a school Gaelic team for boys and for girls. The boys won their quarter-finals yesterday and we all got a night of homework! The girls are doing very well too and only drew one of their matches and won the rest! We also have a G.A.A (gaelic athletic association) club outside of school called O'Dwyers. All Irish sports are played in that!

What kind of sports do you play in your school or outside of it ?
