Kildare & Bowling!

On Wednesday the 20th of April all of the TY's were going out for the day. We left the school at 9.00am and got the bus to Kildare town. We firstly had a look at different statues of St.Brigit then watched a small video back when she lived in that time. After this we walked to the Round Tower and everyone walked around it 7 times backwards because apparently you will dream about your husband that night! We then got the bus to both of St.Brigit's wells.

At 12.00pm we got the bus to Newbridge Whitewater Shopping Centre to get lunch and we were all finished at 1.00pm.

After lunch we got the bus to KBowl near Whitewater Shopping Centre. We gave in all our teams and got ready in our lanes. We started bowling at around 1.40pm and we're finished within an hour. 

We arrived home on time and everyone enjoyed the day a lot! :)

Dress up day

Last Friday the 15th of March was dress up day for St.Patrick's Day. Transition Year's had to dress up as leprechauns or fairies.
We had to pick one person from each class to go in the parade, from our class was Orla Conway! She was the best dressed in our class and she dressed up as an Irish fairy.
At big lunch we all went to the hall , we watched the parade of all the people from each class walking down the hall and some people did Irish Dancing.
After this the prefects put on music and all the students danced to different songs! It was an enjoyable day and we all had a great weekend! :)

Sci-Fest & Briary Gap

Last Friday was Sci-Fest in our school. We spent the last month writing up a  report on our project and designing our poster. Our experiment was about How Temperature Affects Performance.

We came in on Friday morning and set up our stand. Throughout the morning two judges came to us and were very impressed. Unfortunately my group didn't get through and we were very disappointed as we put a lot of work into it!

After Sci-Fest a group of 11 students & 2 teachers left for Macroom in Cork. We were all in class Siochain and were going to Cork to perform a drama. Our drama was about Homelessness. It took 3 and a half hours to get there. We performed our drama at quarter to four and had left by half 4. We didn't get home until half 8 unfortunately but stopped off at McDonalds on the way home. Everyone performed brilliantly and wen were all happy with our performance.

This week we also heard the good news that we got two awards. We got the Runner-Up award and the Best Atmosphere award.

Lollipop Day

A few weeks ago was Lollipop Day. This is a day to collect money for Oesophageal Cancer, it was two euro for either a lollipop or badge.
We all split up into groups of 4 and were put into different places in Dublin to collect. We spent the whole day collecting and split into two for lunchtime so someone would always be collecting.
Me and my group sang and danced for the people walking by and the people loved it. The coffee shop "The Olive Green" were very kind and they all gave us a free hot chocolate at the start of the day. Later on " Cafe Sol" gave us a coffee each also.
We all enjoyed the day and all the people were very nice to us!
