Fun Walk!!

On Friday the 11th of October we had the school's fun walk which celebrated the end of the annual "Anti-Bullying Week". Every class prepared a dance performance in their tutor groups in front of a panel of judges and the rest of the school. Each year was different colour and TY was yellow!  We did a taxi cab theme for our dance. We then took to the roads for a walk out around Celbridge. All funds raised on the day will be donated to Crumlins Hospital's Diabetic Unit/ St. Patrick's Mental Health Foundation/ The Irish Hospice Foundation/ Clongowes Wood Special Children's Holiday. 

Work Experience!!

I started at 9.00 o'clock on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013 in Scoil Naomh Bríd my old primary school. Four other girls and I had got a work placement in the school. We arrived into reception and were met by the principal. Although I was nervous, I was also feeling excited! The principal gave us a tour of the school and filled us in on times for lunch and the duties we would be performing. We were then individually introduced to the teacher and class we would be helping. I was put  in junior infants and the class teacher introduced me to the class. They all looked up at me with their cute smiles! The teacher gave me the job of making the kids art folders and writing their names on them. I basically did this for the whole day which was a little boring but I enjoyed watching how the teacher taught the children! I finished up in the class at 2 when all the girls went home. Here is a picture of the school.

Carlingford!!

At 7 in the morning all of TY got on a bus to start our 2 day trip to Carlingford adventure centre! Just after arriving we started our activities which included team games,laser combat and a night walk. We slept in a room with 12 others who were all my friends. It was great fun and we eat lots of sweets :)   The next day we did more activities! These included water activities in the rain ha-ha  zorbing and archery! The laser combat was my favourite because of the team work + course!! We then headed back on the bus home. I was wrecked to say the least!! Overall I had a great time in Carlingford and defiantly would be returning :D 

Results Day!!

It was the day i had been dreading...11th of September. Although I was nervous, I was also excited! As we lined up in our 3rd year class groups I could feel the tension in the air. Our principal and year head made speech's which seemed to last forever.  Finally I was handed the brown envelope and as I opened it I could feel my hands shaking. There in front of me lay my Junior Certificate results. My heart was racing as the realization of my results sunk it! All honours!!!! I was delighted and shocked. 

That night I went to my friends house to get ready for a disco! It was great to see all my friends so happy! We went to a junior disco called Time to celebrate our results  :) I had never been before which made the night even better. It was great fun and I couldn't have been more content. After Time we went to McDonald's which was a great way to end the night!  

workshops- 4th september

We had 3 workshops on the first Wednesday of TY. The first was all about achieving goals and personality. This was very interesting and the speaker was really enthusiastic. The second was very relaxing as we learned about shoulder massages and our aura! The third one was called Positive Parties and was a great,fun way to end the day!! We learned to be more positive and to be confident :) Until next time.....enjoy my favourite positive song!
