So lately in irish class we have been working on projects. We were put into groups of three and we were allowed to choose our own title. I have been working with shauna and caitriona and we decided to our project on TG4. The first thing we did was look up information on the internet, but the internet didnt really give us the information we needed. We got thinking and we decied the best way to find out about TG4 was to actually go there. It took a lot of planning but we finally got there. On wednesday the fifth of october, we arrived at the train station (after much deliberation we decided to take the train instead of the bus) and we were off...... but when we reached athlone the train broke down and we ended up taking a bus after all :-(. We arrived in galway city (an hour late) and we were picked up in a TG4 van and we asked our chauffer, the caretaker at TG4 lots of questions (thanks john). when we arrived at TG4 HQ. we were taken to reception and greeted by Caitrionas uncle (who very kindly arranged our tour), he took us to orla the hr manager of TG4. She brought us to a control room to watch PONC being filmed. After that we met the presenters of ponc who were very nice and gave us free hoodys and mugs (thanks colman and maire treasa). then we did a tour of all the studeos and got our picures taken presenting the news. When we were finished that we went for lunch in the TG4 canteen. When we finished our lunch we went and visited sile, the girl who presents the weather and does the voiceovers and she showed us tow to present the wheather. We also met the sound engineer and he showed us how they do the voice overs and the promos. Last but not least we visited the set of ros na run, it was unbelieveable how small it was. And then it was back home to our beds. :-)
It was definately my favourite project of all time
