Swim A Mile

On Friday the 19th of April was Swim A Mile. All Ty's and 5th year LCVP class were going. The swim was held in the National Aquatic Centre in Blanchardstown. We were all split into our own teams and some were swimming the mile on their own.
At 9.00am we left on our buses and headed for the National Aquatic Centre we got changed as soon as possible and by half 10 we were all split up into our teams and in the pool. We had two hours to swim and then we had time to shower & change. We left the Aquatic Centre at around 1ish and went to Blanchardstown shopping centre for lunch. We left Blanchardstown shopping centre at half 2ish and were home to the school on time.
Overall the Ty's and LCVP students swam 24 miles altogether and around 10 people swam 1 mile on their own.
Everyone had a great day and experience! :)

Week after Easter

It's the first week back after Easter and everyone is settling in again, everyone seemed to enjoy Easter and is sad to be back already!

French: In French at the moment 6 of us are starting a project and the other 3 are doing orals. My project is on Paris and we are starting to work on it properly next week.

Art: In Art we have all started our puppets. We firstly had to draw out what we wanted our puppet to look like then started off with the puppet's head using newspaper and masking tape. This week I started to work on the puppet's features.

Home Ec: We have two doubles a week so in the first double we cook and this week we baked Lemon Curd cupcakes. For the other double we are making a teddy and my teddy is coming along well.

Science: This week we had a new teacher as we always swap teachers each term, we did an experiment for our double.

Music: For Music class we discussed what song to do for Ty Night and we also got into groups of 4. We have two weeks to pick a song and perform it.
