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.
That's it for now....

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.

Saint Brigid
Hello:)
This post is just going to be about St.Brigid with a few interesting facts about her life. Our TY class Banba designed our schools prayer room. It was a memorising experience and it is something we will never forget.
1. Brigid was born in 453 and she is the patroness of Ireland and the patron saint of Kildare.
2. Her feast day is the first of February.
3. Up until she was 18 she worked as a slave at her father's court with her mother.
4. When she was 18 she knew that her life would be devoted to God and she left her home.
5. She was inspired by the teachings of St. Patrick.
6. Brigid devoted her life to the sick, poor and elderly.
7. Brigid died in 524.
It was nice to learn about such an influential Irish woman.

Pillows that make Profit
Hello:)
This week I am going to discuss Mini Company. Well, our Mini Company has been doing quite well. We have had a lot of orders and our deadline is coming up. We have to make a three minute presentation to two judges and sell our product!
Our mini company is called Codladh and we sell travel pillows. Mini company has been very interesting to take part in this year. It is a completely different to anything I have done before and it is a lot of fun.
That's it for now....
