I WAS A MINION!!

On Friday 11th our school has an annual event called the Fun Walk. It is where each year have a certain colour and you have to come up with a dance for friendship week. Ty's colour was yellow. I always get way too excited on the day haha!:P  If you win our class gets a box of sweets. My class were minions and I have to say we looked pretty awesome!! We were dancing to a song called Wannabe by Spice Girls. Ms Mc M dressed up as Gru from Despicable Me and she looked really good.

We are minions!!!!

Mr O'c and Mr K had to be the funniest Tutors!! They were both dressed like women, well Mr O'c was Tinkerbell and Mr K looked like a hippy of some sort. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw them!!

Me and Sarah as MINIONS!!

#minions4liofe

We so cute..lol no!

I would like to thank all of those who helped organise the Fun Walk!!! :D

I will ALWAYS ALWAYS wear my seatbelt!!!!!

On Tuesday 8th of October we had a workshop to do with Road Safety with a guy called Paul and by god was I scared. We were shown videos of what happens if you text and drive or drink and drive. We saw the outcomes and I was really terrified of what happens. It made me very more cautious and aware of what could happen. Even though I was quite scared I felt it was really worth watching it!! Paul was telling us that most accidents occur due to people being late for something. At the end we got to take a theory test and it was very interesting to see the layout of it. There is 40 questions and you have to get 35 to pass. Sadly I only got 33 so I won't be going anywhere yet!!

When I was on my way home in the car I made sure everybody had their seatbelts on and made sure my mam didn't use her phone while driving!! Overall I thought it was a really good, but terrifying day!!


Oh and one more thing.. at the very end there was a saying and it really stuck in my mind, it is 'It is better to arrive late, than DEAD on time'

Trip To St Enda's Park!

Off to The Pearse Museum!!

On Thursday 3rd of October all the irish classes were brought to the museum with our teachers. The bus collected us at 9:20 and we set off.

On the bus!!

We arrived at the museum at around 10:30. Our tour was called Alan but he told me his name was Alien!:P At the entrance of the museum there is a sculpture of Pearse himself and Sarah and Jennifer decided to give him a kiss...

Kisses all round!!

After the tour around the museum we had some lunch and I bought a MASSIVE cookie yuuuum.. I sat on a bench in the courtyard with my friends and we were just relaxing for a while.

LUNCH TIME!!

So after we had eaten we went on a nature walk around the grounds and our tour guide was telling us about the trees and other things in the grounds! It was really interesting and fun :)

Sarah and I at the water fountain!

 We like to take a lot of photos!!!

Sarah Jennifer and I!!:)

When we were on our way to the next activity we decided to take a picture of ourselves throwing up leaves because we like to act like children!!:P

Having fun with leaves!!

Our final activity in the museum was watching a 20 minute clip and everything about Pearse. It was really interesting and you got to see a lot of photos of what it was like in the Easter Rising!! After that I had to leave, I really enjoyed another trip out with Ty!!:D

Hairnet Wednesday!

On wednesday 25th we had our third set of workshops. This week Denise showed us how to Build Rapport while we're doing our work experience. She showed us how to act and greet our supervisors when we arrive on our first day of work. It really made me feel more confident and i couldn't wait to start work experience! WOOO! :)

Our next workshop involved make up...and even though I have no interest in make up it was actually pretty good. As you can guess from my title i got to wear a HAIRNET!! I know you're probably thinking what is so good about a hairnet, but I had great fun with it!!:D

Our final workshop was with our guidance councellors and by the way I was still wearing the hairnet so you can imagine the look on their faces when they saw... Anyway they were just going to go over a few things with us before we started work experience next week. They were explaining what we should do if there was any accidents or problems during our work experience. They were also telling us what the employer would be expecting from us, for example we should be enthusiastic! They were basically just getting us ready for it and answering any questions we had about it.
                                                                  

We cooool!!

We have hairnets on our heads!!

The Land Of The Leprechauns!!

On the 16th and 17th of September Ms L, Ms O'c and Mr K brought all of Ty to Carlingford for two days. I had to get up at 5:30 because we were leaving Esso at 7 in the morning!! :O I was really excited but sooo tired. I sat beside my friend Sarah and across from Rowen and Sara. We were really giddy on the bus and couldn't wait to arrive at Carlingford. When we arrived we went up to the common room and a guy called Ben welcomed us and told us what we'll be doing! Oh and might I just add that there was a few good looking instructors there too! ;)

Our first activity was called the 'Challenge Course' it was all about team building and team work. Ben was our instructor and he was really funny and really nice. We did this activity for about two hours and my team won which meant we got to eat first! It was a great prize to win. After lunch we went Laser Combating and that was class!! Mr K and Ms O'c were allowed to play with us. Ms O'c was on the opposite team to me and I was out to kill her!! It was really fun and everyone seemed to enjoy it greatly! I killed Ms O'c a few times but she got her revenge and killed me a few times!!

Laser combat.

Next we had dinner and two hours to just lounge around. We got our rooms and put our bags away. At 7 we went up to a forest and had a nightline walk, this is where you walk through the forest completely blindfolded! Before we did this they told us about how this place is known as The Land Of The Leprechauns it was really interesting to here about it. So we got our blindfolds on and Sarah lead us through the forest. By going first you get whacked by branches and fall over a lot but Sarah didn't mind. It was really fun and our instructor Ben kept scaring us and making us scream like mad, but don't worry we all charged after him and started hitting him as our revenge!!

The next day we were due to do water sports and body sorbing but unfortunately i was sick and spent the whole day pretty much sleeping. Everyone said that the body sorbing was class and that they really had fun! We got a bus back to Celbridge at 5 and arrived home at around 7. It was a really good two days and I realllly enjoyed it!! :)

                                                              



                                                 

3..2..1..RESULTS!!!

The day finally came when i got my results. I waited so long for these and i was excited to get them. But when it was finally time to get them I didn't want them anymore!! :P I was scared to open that BIG envelop!! It looked so scary. When I finally had the nerve to open my results I was really happy with them. I felt like I was amazingly smart..which I'm not by the way! To celebrate my results I went to McDonalds with my mam and my dad an after i went to Liffey Valley to see a movie! I told all my family and they were all very proud. I felt really proud of myself and I actually knew things! :)

I was talking to my friends and they were all really happy with their results too! Most of them went out to Mantra but that kinda stuff isn't my cup of tea!! Overall it was a really good day!!!!!

The next day we went to Castletown House with the whole year for a Ty trip. It was really interesting and I really enjoyed it. The tour guide decided to tell us that the Devil was in this house and because I am a chicken I was TERRIFIED!! There was a mirror that was cracked because The Priest tried to get the Devil away by throwing the Bible at him except it hit the mirror. When we were walking past I didn't look at it because I was scared I would see the Devil... yes I know you're probably thinking I'm weird but I was creeped out!! At the end of the tour we got a photo with all my year. I had a really good day!!

Ty year 2013.
