City West!!!!

On the 21st of November Ty went to City West for a Development Education Project. When we arrived we were told to put our bags down and take a seat.

We were there along with four others schools. First off we all had to present our Schools Across Borders Project. I have to say I was annoyed when Darren said our school could only present one project. Because we had a big group of Ty, we had three presentations to present. In the end thank god, we got to present all of ours!!

After that there was an icebreaker, which was when all the schools were mixed and put into groups.
Straight after The Quadrangles did a little play for us. I thought it was a very inspirational play because they were basically saying no matter who you, you can make a change.

Next we got lunch and we had chicken and chips, it was really yummy! Lunch went on for about forty minutes so it was a good long break.

Our next activity involved NGO's and how to set it up. I felt that was really good to know how you can set it up and why.

Our final activity we went over to a building across the way and we either got to draw, do a blog or make a video. I decided to draw and me and Jess wrote ' I am a human so are U ' in purple on the big sheet of paper!

I have to say I really enjoyed our day out in City West!! :D

Here is the St.Wolstan's Tree!

A trip to Dublin!!

On the 14th of November we went to Dublin with our English teachers. They organised us to visit The National Museum, The Art Gallery and The W.B.Yeats Museum.

We left school at around 9:15 and arrived at about 10. We visited the W.B.Yeats exhibition first and that was really interesting, you got to learn a bit about hid life and his family there and much more.

Sarah and Jen!!:)

Me and Jess!:) 

Sarah and Jen being cool!!

After the exhibition we went to the Art Gallery and that was really amazing. The pictures there were fantastic and the amount of people with their journals commenting on the paintings was really amazing. My favourite picture was called 'Grief' by Jack B Yeats. I liked it because it was different and you really ahd to look closely to see what was going on in the picture!! This was probably my favourite part of the day!

We had lunch in Grafton Street and next and had a little wonder around the shops. Me and my friends went to Brown Thomas, Starbucks, and Disney.

Me and my new Boyfriend Lotso!!

Our very last thing we did was we went to The National Museum and looked at the Bog Bodies. I found this really interesting and amusing. The bodies were thousands of years old and its amazing to see how well they were preserved, some better than others!!

I have to say I had a really great day and I would like to thank the teachers!!:)

Science and Liffey Valley, how great!!

Last Monday our science teachers organised a day out in The Institute of Technology for Ty. We left at 10:40 and got a bus to Tallaght.

When we arrived I was really surprised to see my cousin there, as I did not know he went there. Anyways after I met my cousin we were brought into a biochemistry lab and it was really cool.

Then we were brought to a room where we met a lecturer and he was going to tell us about exrtaordinary science and show us some experiments. He chose some  people to go and demonstrate the experiments with him. A lot of the experiments were really cool and I really enjoyed my time there!!

So after we visited the Institute our teachers brought us to Liffey Valley for lunch. What a treat!! I went to McDonald's of course and after we went and looked around some shops!!

Sarah and her happy meal!

 All in all it was a great day out!!:)

                                                                                                 

Ghouls and Ghosts wondering about!

On the 25th of october our school had an annual event where each year is given a theme to dress up in.

First year: witches
Second year: zombies
Third year: vampires
Ty: villains
Fifth year: circus
Sixth year: Harry Potter 

The best costumes from each class gets put into the parade and the best class wins a prize.
A lot of the costumes were really good and some were quite scary to be honest. Sarah from my class was put into the parade. She was The Joker and she looked really great! But unfortunately she didn't win1:(

 A lot of effort went into the costumes which makes the day really fun and festive. Also some teachers dressed up which was very funny. I really enjoy this time of year, it is always a good nuild up towards Halloween!!:)

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!
