Last Blog of September!

Well, yet another week of TY has flown by and it's time for me to tell you all about it ! So, in Science this week we did this absolutely amazing experiment ! We made normal copper pennies turn golden ! It was quite cool! We did it by heating zinc and sodium hydroxide on a hot plate and mixing it around and then putting the coin on the hot plate itself ! On Tuesday I had double Tech. and I finished my key-ring(hooorayy !!!)  and started marking out my clock which I am delighted to say is going to be a baby pink colour! Later that same afternoon I had Home Ec. which meant Junk Koutre Time ! Chanice started leaving( actually putting leaves on the back of the skirt)  and Rosie and me started paper maché the front. On Wednesday  I had my first day of Work Experience which I can say with a smile went really well ( If you want to know more on my Work Exp. follow the link on the side of my page!) on Thursday we finally decided on our mini- Company ideas which is quite a relief, That's it really for this week!( I think!)

Carlingford !!

This was the most epic week of my life ! I got to go to Carlingford with my fellow TY's ! :D 
It began with a lot of packing sweets and warm woolies! Then it was an early start on Monday! On the bus to the adventure centre we watched Tangled which is quite a cool movie ! Then we arrived and got split into 2 groups and sorted out the rooms. I shared a room with 11 other girls and that in itself was an experience ! The first task we endured was laser tag ! The best fun ever ! Walking around carlingford village in an army suit and fake guns! It was immense ! Then we had lunch, beans,chips and sausage rolls ! Then we had kayaking ! It was difficult.... My arms were killing me after !! That night we did the Night Line Walk which was scary ! Stumbling around the forest at night time with a blindfold on and the instructors pouring water over us and rubbing leaves against us ! So scary !! That night we had a mini party in  our room eating our weight in sweets, chocolate and crisps! Surprisingly we were all out cold by 12:30 ! The next morning started off with us having to clean our rooms (not a fun time) but then soon improved with the news that we would be zorbing ! Which is when we were strapped into a giant rubber ball and pushed down a hill ! Then we had high ropes and challenges which were deadly ! Much to my sadness it was time to leave and say bye to all the instructors who we all came to love. 
Over and Out,

Week Two !

Well, It's the second week in Transition Year! I have to say it's been a bit crazy ! It started off with trying to make a skirt out of newspaper and chicken wire in Junk Koutre! We decided on a paper mache, we used so much glue ! Then we had Tech which was really cool because I got to use the hack-saw and the pillar drill which was quite a big deal for me! Then Wednesday came, the day of reckoning ! The day of our Junior Cert results! My nerves were on edge but everything was good ! I done really well! (Hooray!) Then I had a great night ! I went to a disco with my friends and had a blast ! The next day, feeling very tired I headed back to school and had a great day, in Mini Company we brainstormed things to sell to our fellow pupils! It was a good day ! Then on Friday I has a great Music class, learning to play "We Will Rock You" on guitar and I have to admit I'm not very good !  So, that's it really !

My First Blog !

This is really exciting ! My first ever blog ! So, I had my first week in transition year and it really was a whirlwind adventure ! Between designing dresses in Junk Kouture and trying to mark my key ring in Tech. I've had a brilliant week. Everything is so  new and different but I can really feel myself easing into this new fun school year ! I had really fun workshops on Wednesday and learnt a lot about presentation, positivity   , and planning !
