Danae (Sweeney)

Brannigan (7)

I like my school here, I have many friends here. I play Gaelic

football [at the weekend].

I speak English, Greek, French and I am learning Irish. I don’t have

any memories of moving to Brussels. In our house, I have this place

upstairs where I keep all of my toys. When I want to relax, I go to

my bed or the TV room and I sleep on the couch, or we have this

chair that you can lie down on. My school is far from here so I take

the school bus really early in the morning. I have lunch at school

and sometimes, when my mummy comes from work, we have more

lunch at home. I sometimes have friends for play dates and

sleepovers. And it is also fun when I go to birthday parties to my

friends’.

I have a friend, she is half Danish and half Polish but she also

speaks English. She is really nice. And I also have a friend from

England, she is also very nice. We travel a lot. I have been to

Greece, Ireland; we went to Spain for holiday. We also went to

Poland and Germany. But I like Brussels the most. And second is

Ireland. And then Poland.

I don’t have any friends in Ireland because I did not go to school

there. I was supposed to go to a Maternelle [Ed. nursery school] but

they did not have any there.

Here in Brussels, I do swimming and I like to go to a park and buy

ice cream and watch dogs. It can be really hot here in the summer.

My daddy works all day. He makes videos and then he sends them to

people. [i.e. on Twitter]. My mammy also works all day and

sometimes I get to go to her work and eat lunch there.

This last Christmas was my first Christmas in Brussels. Because

normally we go to Ireland for Christmas but this year the flights

were really expensive so we stayed here. In Ireland we get to go to

other people’s houses.

There is loads of stuff I want to do when I am a grown up. I want to

be a vet or work in a café, or I want to be a hairdresser, or a pilot.

I would feel sad if I had to move out of Brussels. But if we moved to

London, I would be happy because I have a friend who lives there.

And I could also see the (UK) Queen’s castle every day. And schools

would be also nice because I speak the same language.
