Hola:)

Tonight is the music night(: and our class is performing florence and the machine's 'shake it out' :D Curtains go up at 7:30 tonight, and we're on seventh in the second half so there will be planty of time to practice:L We're singing the song with fellow ty class Eiriú. There will be many other acts on as well, I think class Fodla are doing wake me up(: and there'll be lots of third and sixth years performing too as well as our choir:D  

Hope fully it goes well(:

Yesterday was the first year sports afternoon which my class Banba organised. It was a great afternoon and the first years seemed to have a good time:) My favourite event was the hurdles and high jump. I was in charge of countinh the points for class Emerald, they did very well and so did all the other classes, but there had to be a winner and class pearl came out on top:)   

Scifest is also coming up, and every ty is enetering a project in either twos, threes or fours. Its being held in IT tallaght and everyone is busy making posters for their display. Our project is the same as it was for bt young scientist. It's on make-up and our experiments and surveys are nearly done so we should be ready to start printing our poster very soon :)

Well thats it:L Hasta Leugo..

 

St.Patricks Daaay Weekend(:

Hope everyone had a great Paddys day(: To celebrate Paddys day in school we had a dress up day and everyone seemed to get into the spirit. We had a céilí in the p.e. hall because it was raining so the courtyard was out of the equasion): The school was packed with farmers, people dressed up as bags of tea, shamrocks and every other irish or green thing you can think of(: It was a great day and all the money that was collected from students
 went to some very worthy charities:D

There were loads of amazing parades all around Ireland on Paddys day and I hope that everyone got a chance to see you. My personal favourite is of course the Dublin parade(: This year was amazing as usual:) The only downside to the dublin parade is that it is always thronged with people and sometimes its hard to see the parade:)

Like I said hope everyone had a greeeat day:D

Later:P

Washing mud out of my hair for half an hour! (:

Yesterday we went to an assault course on puddenhill, called braveforce(: It was great fun. My knees are now a mass of bruises and I can safely say last night I was asleep before I hit the pillow, even though I slept on the bus home. I loved all the obstacles, it was the long stretches inbetween them that had me panting and gasping for breathe. I probably never would have finished the course if it wasn't for Lauren screaming at me to keep going every five minutes :P My favourite obstacles were the water ones, every time you felt like you were starting to get sweaty or two hot, there was a big muddy, water filled trench to cross, it may not sound it but it was great fun :L Here's one of the obstacles we had to climb ! :L

Harder then it looks! :L

Well that's pretty much it(: Byeeeee

Work Expirience:D

Last week all Tys were on work experience. I went to Trócaire in Maynooth:D I had a great time and would really reccommend going to Trócaire as a work placement to anyone(: I got to talk to loads of different people from different departments. Everyone was really friendly and I setteled in really quickly. I got to go to a school in Mullingarr and talk to the kids there about Trócaire, Daniel and their lenten campaign. We also went around to all the classes and thanked them for supporting trocaire in previous years by putting money in the Trocaire box.That was my favourite part(:
I also had to write reports on all the interviews I did, as well as doing a bit of shredding. Which by the way is great fun if you need to let off a little steam:L

I got to learn all about the developing world and what Tróaire is doing to improve conditions in those countries. I learned a lot about Uganda in particular as Daniel's hometown in Uganda is the focal point for this years Lenten campaign(:

Well thats pretty much it, cya:D
