Ball, Show and 'Healthy Cooking'

On Friday I went to the Temple Street Ball organised by the one and only Sarah Mc. We all dressed up all fancy in long dresses and the lads in suits. It was a great night and it raised €3000 for Temple Street Childrens Hospital.

My mini company i.protect was also in the paper twice for wining the innovation award at the Kildare finals.

In Home Ec we made Mars Rice Krispie bars. The recipe in truth is a heart attack waiting to happen with 400g of butter and 12 large Mars. In the end the looked really pretty.

Last night was also the opening night of my dance show in the Helix. Ive been in the Peelo school of dance since I was 4/5, so over a decade. Anyway as it was opening night there were a few nerves however we have more performances over the weekend so we wont have many  nerves for final night.

Hello everyone, this post is in Irish as we have to do it for a blog challenge. As you might know St Patricks Day was on the 17th of March. I went to Dublin the day before and the majority of people were actually touists from the US, Australia, England etc.. There were parades around Ireland and the world, I saw the parade in Celbridge and I went out with my friends. Overall i had a great day.

Total Eclipse,Work experience

While I am writing this post a solar eclipse is happening, sadly in Ireland its too cloudy to actually see it happening but everywhere went really dark. We still wanted to see it happening so we found a live feed from the Faroe Islands and we saw the total eclipse perfectly.

      

Also I am currently half way through my last work experience which is in Grafton Academy of Fashion Design. Im really enjoying it as I love fashion and everyone is really nice. My main project is making a skirt which is nearly finished...

Cross Country,Scifest,Hockey, Mini company Kildare Finals!!!!

So as I said in my last post we have had so many things going on. In the past week I have been out doing different things everyday. On Thursday I went to be an official at a West Leinster Cross Country race. It was freezing but I got to stay inside the car all day and count the scores. Our school came 1st, 2nd or 3rd in every race and we won best girls school.  The Scifest school rounds were also on. Sarah, Chloe and I did a project on pack mentality and we got through to the finals in ITT in May!

 We also got to the Leinster Finals in Hockey, its the furthest our school has ever got. Sadly we lost to Skerries 3-1. Next year though we will have a great senior team so we have our eyes set on the senior cup.

 Also I forgot to mention that my mini company i.protect got through to the Kildare finals of the competition. It was a great day and we got a full meal aswell. In the end we came 3rd and won  the most  innovative product. Hopefully we'll continue with the company in the future 

Pancake Day, Drumming and Lollipop Day

So the last few weeks have been crazy. We have had loads of trips out and projects due. The first big day we have had was Pancake day on the 13th of February for charity.We made over 200 pancakes and sold them with portions of lemon, sugar and nutella. It was crazy busy and we sold out in under ten minutes. 

We also had a jemba drumming workshop. We learnt traditional African beats on the drums and how to make different sounds on the drumsss.

We also went into Dublin City Centre to sell lollipops on lollipop day in aid of oesophageal cancer. The lollipops sold really well and was a really fun way to raise money for charity.
