Mini Company

Last Friday all Transition Years went to Naas to the Odeon Cinema. At the cinema we viewed a slideshow about Mini Company. We also got into our brainstorming groups and came up with different idea's. Overall the day was a good day and the year had a great outing to Naas.

So far since last Friday we have all got into our groups , have came up with an idea we plan on doing for mini company and got our roles within our group. My role in my group is called the Company Secretary. One of the jobs I will have to do is collect and store any information we get out of the company. There is 5 people in my group altogether and hopefully our idea will work out.

Carlingford Day 2

On Tuesday the 18th of September it was the 2nd day and everyone was up at 8. Breakfast was first and then we all cleaned our rooms, packed our suitcases and left the room.

At the start of the day we walked to the challenge field and did the high ropes. Four people were strapped in and had to climb logs to get to the top of the 8th log , i got to the 5th log. It was very high and hard but it was fun at the same time. After the high ropes we got to do zorbin. Zorbin is when two people got in a massive ball and roll down the hill. Me and my friend Shannon were in a ball together and we had so much fun. It was scary going down the hill but we enjoyed it alot.

After the high ropes and zorbin we went back and got lunch.

The 2nd activity of the day was in the challenge field and we had to get into groups of 10. In your group you had to complete different challenges , if you completed them you got gems depending on the hardness of the activities. 

It was finally time to leave and everyone was so sad. We all loved our instructors and loved the experience. We will miss our instructors and the activities we did! We all loved our challenge instructor Paddy!

I would like to thank Ms.L , Ms.B and Mr.K for bringing us to Carlingford as everyone had the time of their lives :)

P.S   SHOUTOUT TO RUTH THE BDAY GAAAAL

Carlingford Day 1

We all had an early start on Monday the 17th of September :) Everyone was very excited for the 2 days ahead of us and knackered at the same time.

We departed from Esso station at 7 o' clock and arrived at Carlingford for around half 9. We firstly got all our rooms and put our things away. Our first activity was a laser guns game. We were all in our gear for the game and my group had a blast playing the game.

Next was lunch and everyone was full by the end of it. Our 2nd activity of the day was kayaking. Everyone was freezing and we all had to get into wet wetsuits , it was horrible! We got into partners and all got used to kayaking. We stopped off at a cave and all got to put our head under a waterfall , apparently it adds one day to your life when you put your head under it for 10 seconds. By the end of kayaking we were all so sore.

After kayaking we headed back for dinner and unfortunately most people disliked the dinner.

Our last activity was called Night Blindness. We all were blindfolded in the forest in the pitch black! One person would lead you and everyone would put their right hand on the shoulder in front of them. The person in front of you would have to give you directions. I was 2nd in line with my friend Ciara in front of me , we had a great time and were scared where we were walking.

Results Night Bant

Finally the day of results came! Ty's got a lie in and were not in til half 12 :) Of course everyone was nerve-wrecking as we were waiting patiently! The time arrived and we all got into our base class from last year , in alphabetical order and I was near the front of course. I ripped open the envelope and scanned my results :) 

I think that most people were happy with results and some were unfortunately sad , I was happy with most of my results and with one I was disappointed. I was disappointed with Technology as I got a B but I wanted my A as Technology is my favourite subject. I was very proud of my B in maths as I was expecting a C!

Next was our night out , me and my friends went to time and the night was great. Time was packed with Junior Cert students who were all happy with themselves :)

Overall the day was an amazing experience and I am very proud with my friends and myself for doing so well in the Junior Cert. We all deserved a night out!

Settling In

Can't believe it's already Friday, the week has flew by! Everyday  the days get better and everyone seems to be settling in great :)

We are doing a Junk Couture project at the moment with our friends and everyone is having fun making their outfit. 

On Wednesday everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day as we had 3 workshops throughout the day. Our first workshop lasted an hour and a half , we learnt all about different things like etiquette, clothes , make up , skin, hair and more. The women who  did the workshop were very helpful to us and I enjoyed the workshop. 

Our second workshop of the day was about development. We all learnt a lot of things and we all had a great time with each other.

Our last and final workshop for Wednesday was my favourite of the day. We had a positive party and everyone had a great time singing , dancing , learning about positive experiences & more:)

The week overall has been amazing and I am enjoying myself so much! I hope the year will also be amazing.

Bye for now,

TY Time!

It has only been two days of TY and i am already loving it ! The atmosphere with a new class, new teachers and more is great :) The thoughts of being in 5th year now are horrible , I would definitely not be mature enough for it. 

I am looking forward to the next school year in TY and hopefully I will have an amazing experience throughout the whole year.

Results night is coming soon also and everyone is surely looking forward to get the results after all their hard work and to have a good night out with everyone! I hope everyone gets what they worked for.

Soon enough we will also be starting work experience , I am excited for this as it will be a different experience and everyone will get to see what work is really like. For my first work experience placement I will be going to a beauticians and I think I will enjoy it.

Bye for now ,
