Dear Ms McGuinness,
How are you keeping? My name is David from 5th class in Kiltiernan NS. This name might ring a bell because, yes, you have been here before on a tour of South Galway.
At the moment we are currently working on the Blue Star programme that engages young people to learn more about the EU and MEPs.
Currently we have done a geography project on EU countries. We have also done projects on Historical European events such as World War I and World War II. We have also researched European artists/inventors and how the EU parliament works.
Finally, we have hosted an EU food tasting day. We chose food from the EU and cooked it. Then on one Wednesday we served in small portions to the school. Everybody really enjoyed the day.
Mairead, we would love if you could come to our school and tell us about your job. We would love to know about a ‘day in the life of an MEP.
Thank you for taking the time to read the letter.
Yours Sincerely,
David
