Burren Beo - Week 5

Burren Beo

By Meádbh Costello, 6th Class 

Gráinne from Burren Beo gave us a sheet with a family’s name on it from years ago. We were to pick a person from that family to act out as. After we picked our people we went outside to practice our role play. Then we acted out our plays.
The week after, we watched a video of people lilting and Irish dancing. Later on we got into groups and tried to lilt to a modern song and tried Irish dancing. When we went back inside we had a debate about whether you want Irish music to change, or to keep it as it is.
While we were debating, we stopped for a minute to listen to Irish music and Irish bands and instruments. For the debate, we passed a bean bag back and over so only one person at a time could talk. It was a very enjoyable workshop.

  1. Music is so much part of our culture and it's really good to stop and think about it and to fully appreciate the value of it. Well done!!!!
