Support the fashion and the cakes
Hello:)
This is a very eventful week in TY to say the least. Lets start with today. Today my TY class Banba is having a cake sale to fund raise for our Mini Companies. My Mini Company is called Sweet Dreams so check out our upcoming facebook page! I hope we raise some money for our cause.
Tomorrow which is Thursday the 15th of November it is our Home EC. Fashion show. I am so excited for this. We have been working on our designs since September. We basically have to make a design inspired by a particular fashion era using a white T-shirt and jeans. We chose to copy the iconic Audrey Hepburn who dominated the 1960s fashion era.
Next week is our last week before our Christmas Holidays. We have two days of exams and then we are going bowling on the Wednesday. Ive had a great time in TY so far and I cant wait to come back after Christmas!
That's it for now.....

Breathtaking Ballet, Magical Music and Outstanding Opera
Hello:)
Well this week in TY is all about music .The Sound of Music has is being performed from Monday to Thursday this week. It is an amazing show and a really entertaining night!For more pictures and information check out http://www.stwolstans.ie/!
Last week we went to see to Ballet and it was great. We spent the day at it and it was a really worthwhile trip. Some girls from our school was even in it. The costumes were beautiful and I could sort of understand the storyline behind the ballet. The theme was the Nutcracker.
The week before last we went to see the opera," Don Giovanni", in the swan cinema in Dublin. It was amazing. We were lucky that there was sub-titles because if there was not none of us would have been able to understand what was going on! The main character in the opera was Don Giovanna who was interesting to say the least. He was a rich nobleman who adored women. The only bad thing about the opera was it was very long. It was about three hours in total.
The past few weeks in TY have been very creative and I loved them!

A Standing Ovation
Hello
Yesterday all of TV went into town to see "Juno and the Paycock" in the Abbey Theater. It was a fantastic production and it helped me understand the play more. My favourite part of the production was the set and the music. It was like we had actually entered a tenement house in 19th century Dublin I really enjoyed it. In the morning before the play we visit National Library and the National Museum. In the National Museum we saw the bog bodies. They were bodies that bogs world wide had preserved. We could see their faces and everything. My favourite part of the morning was visiting the W.B Yeats exhibition. We got to learn about his life and to read bits and pieces of his poetry.
We then had lunch on Grafton Street. It was a great day and I would go see it again.

Builders knock down all competition
Last week we had anti-bullying week. There was a fun walk at the end of the week and our class dressed up as builders. We did a dance to the Bob the Builder theme song and we found out on Monday that we WON.
It was a great day and everyone had alot of fun. I really enjoyed it. After all the dances were over the walk began. Ty's were to stay at the cross roads and junctions. I was at Old Town Mill with a few of my friends . The colour for TY was yellow . First years were pink, second years were purple, third years were green, fifth years were blue and sixth years were black and white.
It was a great week and our prize was a box of roses.

If you dont report it you support it
Hello:)
Next week is going to be completely normal. I have to:
1. Work on my geography project
2. Do an assignment for creative writing
3. Go to a mini company workshop on Wednesday

This week is anti-bullying week and the fun walk is on Friday. Anti bullying week is all about making sure that everyone feels safe and secure in school.

The anti bullying week finishs off with the fun walk. This is a walk we have every year and the money we raise is going to Pieta House.

Today is an unusual day! Our music class is performing the movie "Mean Girls", in an opera format. I'm in the script committee and I have to write the script for the opera. Its going to be a challenge to change this popular movie into an opera.
Our school is also performing a musical before Christmas. It is going to be ,"The Sound of Music" . I volunteered for the backstage crew. Its going to be amazing and I cant wait for it:)

Pencil Skirts and Kitten Heels
Hello:)
We just had careers and we were talking about work experience. I cant wait for this . These two weeks are going to be my highlight of TY. My first work experience is taking me to the South Dublin County Council in November. I am going to the legal department. I am really excited. It will be really interesting to learn what it is like to actually go out to work rather then be stuck in school. I'm just wondering if my work experience will require me to wear certain clothes. Like, will I get to wear the usual denim and T-shirts or kitten heels and pencil skirts?
For my second week I am returning to my old primary school, Scoil Mochua. I would really love to be a primary school teacher and I would love to work with children in the future. It will be interesting to see my past teachers and how things have changed in my school.

From ME to US
Hello:)
I have been in TY for almost a month now and I'm starting to realise what it is about. I was just recently working on my science project when I realised I am beginning to learn how to work as a part of a team. By not just handling the pressure by myself.
Just a quick thought,

The past comes back
Hello:)
Yesterday we got our junior cert results. I was happy with what I received even though I was a bit nervous at first. That night my friends and I all went to time and had a great night:)
To be honest now though I think its time to get alot of sleep and rest the legs.

Carlingford = Memories
Hello:)
The past two days we were in Carlingford Adventure Centre in County Louth. It was fantastic ,amazing and brilliant. The two days started with getting up at six in the morning which was alright(sarcasm). We got there around eightish and the fun began. We were spilt into two groups. First we did challenges which were good buy tiring but nothing could compare us for what was coming next. We had to hike up this massive monster of a hill that was the steepest thing Ive ever seen in my life. When we finally got to the top we played laser shooting which was my favourite activity. After the laser we went for dinner and then back up the hill for a night line which was fun. We then got our rooms. I was put with 15 of my friends in a house near the centre. The accommodation was warm and cosy. From nine until eleven we had free time which was great.
The next day we had breakfast at eight and then went orienteering which was the worst activity in my opinion because of all the hiking and walking. Then we had lunch and rock climbing.
Carlingford was amazing and loved every minute of it. I would go back for a week next time. The instructors were all lovely and supportive. I definitely would go back again.

New Beginnings
Hello:)
My name is Shannon and Ive been in TY for almost two weeks now. So far it has been the best start to a year in school Ive ever had. Everything is different but in a good way.As usual when you start a new year in school you get your journal and your locker but in TY the project work starts straight away. TY is a break from studying but we still have work to do. We are now working on our projects for the Young Scientists Exhibition. We also have a geography project to do on countries and a Home EC. project which involves us making something out of white jeans and a T-shirt inspired by a particular period of style. I like doing projects and I'm looking forward to starting my Home EC. project. Projects are much better than studying.This year we started a new subject called Mini-Company. I would enjoy it more if I could come up with an idea.
Next week all of TY is going to Carlingford Adventure Centre in Down. I am so excited for this . I cant wait to go away and take part in the activities. Last week we had photography,pilates and dance . To be honest this is my favourite part of the week.I love taking taking part in the Charleston dance because its a type of dance Ive never heard of before.
