So shake him off oh woah...
Hello:)
Last night was the music night! All of class Banba performed Shake it out by Florence and the Machine. We had been practising this since Christmas so I hope we did a good job. I really enjoyed the music night because everyone was so excited and we also got to watch School of Rock while we were waiting to perform.
We also had a final rehearsal yesterday in the hall which went well but I think that the final performance was much better. The music night took place started at 7.30 and we were in the second half.
Also for the next two weeks it Easter! It will be nice to have a long break.

That's all for now....

For the First Years....
Hello:)
Yesterday all of my class Banba hosted a sports day for the first years. It included events like, the high jump, the javelin, the sprints, the relay, the 600m run, the discus and many more! Everyone one in our class got the opportunity to plan an event. Myself and Sally were in charge of the Sprints.
We had to organise all of the first years into heats and then lay out of all of the cones. As well as giving our results to the judges. It may not sound like alot of work but it was. Fortunately, it was a beautiful and sunny day. The first years were competing to what class was the sportiest. The classes are Saphire, Pearl, Ruby, Amber and Emerald. Class Pearl won by getting the most points.

Not a doss year
Hello:)
Today I realised that I have alot of upcoming projects due for the next few months. So far we have to do a statistics project in maths. We have to compare surveys from 20 first years and 20 sixth years. We are comparing scary movies between the two groups.
Today, I was given a home ec. project. We have to design our dream room and include colour, texture and pattern. We also have a history project which is the one I am most looking forward to doing. We can pick any historical topic we want and have to do a report on it.
Whoever came up with that TY is a doss year is lying!

Upcoming and Past Events
Hello:)
Last week in TY was La Glas. This was a day that all of the students dressed up in green to celebrate St.Patrick's day. It took place during Seachtain na Gaelige. The prefects organised the ceile and it was a fun event!
The next big event for TY is the Swim a Mile with a Smile. I have done it once before and it will be amazing to do it with TY.

Options Decisions Options Decisions
Hello:)
Today is another typical Thursday in TY. The main thing on my mind today is that our subject option forms for fifth year are due in tomorrow. It will be a weight lifted off my mind to have this out of the way with.
After what feels like a full year making my mind up I have finally made a final decision. I am happy with what I picked and I hope I made the right decision.
In other news, yesterday all TYs had an Internet safety talk and did an assalt course.

Feel the beat
Hello:)
On Monday the fifth of March all of my class(Banba) had a percussion workshop. It was a fantastic experience.
We learned about African style music and all had our own drum.The drum is called a Jimbay not a Bongo! We also learned some new dance moves! You could feel the beat like a pulse through the drum when you were playing it.
I really enjoyed this workshop and the new thing I learned alot of new things.

Every day is different
Hello:)
It has been a long time since my last blog but that is because I have been so busy. Last week was my final work experience. I went to my old primary school Scoil Mochua. It was amazing , brilliant and fantastic!
I spent my week following a timetable that my supervisor had kindly made up for me. I never had a boring moment. I was with all classes from Junior Infants right up to Sixth class. I was taking part in P.E classes , art classes , arranging books , shared reading and much much more.
My favourite part was meeting all my old teachers again and the students were so friendly and welcoming. I have learned that I have a bigger interest in primary school teaching then I thought. I would definitely recommend this work experience to anyone with an interest in teaching . The last thing I learned was the is never a dull, boring day in a primary school. Every day poses new challenges and is different.
