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.

Briary Gap!!

This week we went to the semi finals of the briary gap drama competition. For the past few months we have been preparing a number of class plays. We had to write, act , produce and direct the plays ourselves. My class play was called Willow where Shakespeare was a girl and went into the future to Nazi Germany which gave her inspiration for the merchant of Venice. We were the first play on so we didnt have much time to prepare. We all had a great time and we spent the rest of the day watching other plays and walking around Mullingar.

Zumba !?!

This week in PE we started Zumba! Its really fun but really tiring. By the end of the class we were all completely wreaked. I laughed so much during it but its safe to say that you look better if you actually go for it and dont hold back. 

Im really looking forward to next week for another hour of zumbaaaaaa fun

Work experience no2 woooo

I recently started my 2nd work experience, Im working in a polymers (glue) company called WI polymers. Im really enjoying it, I work in the lab testing different glues, in the office answering calls and in the factory making huge quantities of glue. Im really interested in chemistry so this is the perfect work experience for me.

Hi buddy the Elf, whats your favourite colour?

So before Christmas we went to see Elf the musical in The Bord Gais Theatre. I kinda forgot to post about it as we have been doing lots in the last few weeks. I also found out that I hadnt properly uploaded any of the pictures on the blog so it took a while to do that. Anyway Elf was really good and about 10 of us got to sit up at the front of the upper circle so our view was fab.
