On Wednesday 11th of April. Two men came into our school to conduct the Fainne exam. The Fainne is an oral exam. I had to read a short story in Irish. each student had to read one. Other students played musical instruments such as the piano, fiddle, piano and accordion. A student also sang. We provided refreshments for both examiners. Before the exam, we had to research "the schools collection" on duchas.ie. We were given certain topics from schools that we had to type up. Mine was the travelling culture. I found it very interesting to see the customs of the travellers from many years ago. From what I researched they have not really changed. On another occasion we we had type up topics in our own words. Our teacher then put these into booklets and had them on display for the examiners to look at while we spoke.. In conclusion, I received my Fainne badge and certificate to show I have completed this exam.
