We have to visit 2 second world countrys, 2 third world and 2 first world! First stop: Japan.

Results !

On Wednesday, after coming back from Carlingford we came in to school to get the results of the Junior Cert - I was really nervous and my hands were shaking so much I could barely open the envelope! Surprisingly I didn't do as badly as I thought I would have,  and after every one stopped jumping around and hugging and crying, we headed out to celebrate! (I know we're not allowed mention names but congratulations to a certain Elmhead who recieved AMAZING results!) After our night out and all the excercise we did in Carlingford we could barely move on Thursday morning so when the time came for pilates we all just took a little nap on our mats! Now that the exams aren't hanging over our heads we can really enjoy our year!
Cya next time xx

Carlingford ;D

Carlingford was brilliant! It was so worth getting up at 6 o clock in the morming! We got on the bus at 7 and set off - we startd with team building activies and then we were given these really flattering (not!) army uniforms to put on and we climbed up a huge hill to play laser tag in the forest! We were seperated into 2 teams and we were given a mission to carry out! We all got really into it (I think wearing real army uniforms helped) and really competitive! We were all exausted by the end of the day but we all relaxed by the fire , singing and stuff. They gave us really nice food too - I'm surpised I didnt burst!The next day we trekked up the huge mountain to go abseiling - a very frightening experience! I was only about 3 metres off the ground but I was terrified!We all headed home muddy and tired and in wet clothes but we were really happy with ourselves! I want to go back !
Cya next time!

:)

Yesterday, our class Eriu (still have no idea how to spell it!) had a socail development class which was really cool, we all got to know each other and bond. We started off telling each other our embarrassing stories (some more embarrassing than others!) and then we drew posters, and got divided into groups by personality types.
Apparently I'm a Sanguine - colour yellow , AKA 'Crazy Cows!', We waved out the window at Johnny Doyle. a 'famous' footballer, but I've never heard of him before! ;L
Then today we had Pilates, (which I can barely walk after), photography and Charleston dancing (the 1920s music is stilll stuck in my head!).
And this time 4 days all of us TYs will be in Carlingford canoeing and climbing and whatever else we do there! It's gonna be great :)
Lovin' TY so far

TY so far!

Hey, I'm Grace.
This is my first ever blog and I'm really looking forward to it!
TY has been great so far, we have got loads of  fun stuff lined up for us , like every Thursday we have photography and Charleston dancing and pilates (which was really tiring but so fun !) Then we've got a fashion project to do, where we design an outfit from a plain t-shirt and trousers! I was really excited to hear we're going to be doing a musical this year too - The Sound of Music! I want to get involved in that but maybe I'll just work backstage or something - I wouldnt want to kill anyone with the sound of my singing!! Next week we're going to Carlingford, which will be amazing :D I think what I like best about TY so far is that every day is different and its never boring ! This year is going to be awesome :)
That's all for now!
Grace xx
