My Last Blog before Christmas:)

So, It's Christmas!! I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself!  But, I am know going to fill you in on the happing in St.Wolstan's last week plus this week as I never gave you my weekly update I usually give on a Friday!

                                                           Monday was quite an epic day altogether! It began with a Mini Co. idea with Orla, as we missed one of them(the day we saw Skyfall!) and she told us all about marketing! But after break was when all the fun went down! We had our JunkKoutre fashion show! Well, I have to say it was such a good time! Unfortunately ours was a bit different then how we intended as on Friday our skirt, we just couldn't use, so over the weekend we decided to crochet a skirt as our theme was nature and wool comes from sheep and they are natural! We also had a slight panic as we had no music but some of the girls came to our rescue and let us use there I-Pod! The fashion show itself was so cool, we got to see the designs of all the groups which was good too! It was all in all a really fun fashion show! Later on that day we had double Science on Ms.B got us to draw posters on different areas of botany we studied! Our group did plant reproduction!

                                                           
                                                            Tuesday was also a fun day too! We had double Tech. with Mr.W which always promises to be fun! I finally finished the main part of my clock, I had this weird filing to do and I have been putting it off for a couple of weeks and I also melted my piece too! Later on that day we had Home Ec. and we made cupcakes with blue icing!  They were absolutely yummy!!!

                                                                   On Wednesday we had workshops all day! They were by Trocaire, Concern and Self-Help Africa they were really interesting and the Self-Help Africa one was really informative about the exploitation of first world countries to the third world countries such as the rose industry in Kenya and Ethiopia.

                                                            Thursday was a very interesting day! Well, it began with a religion class with Ms.G and then a very interesting History class with Ms.C about how Hansel and Gretel was based on a true story! As part of My Young Scientist Project we had to do one of our experiments! We had to go to the local boys school and measure their height and weight of their school bags! After that we had Careers and English with Ms.W

                                                  On Friday we went to the ballet, it was so brilliant! I had a really good time! They performed The Nutcracker  and A Christmas Tale!

                                              I was absent on Monday!
  
                                           On Tuesday our Christmas Exams began! We had Spanish, English and Religion!
                                           Then we had Wednesday and we had Maths and Irish!!

                                          On Thursday we had a fun day! Class Cairdeas put on a Christmas party and we exchanged our Kriskindle presents! After this we went bowling! It was soooooo much fun!

                                            Now I'm on Christmas Holidays(Whooop)

Last IT Class before Christmas!

                                                                       So, its that time of the week when I have to tell you all about my week in TY! It all began on Monday, first class we had Art, and it was stressful! Our fashion show is on Monday so that meant we had a week to finish, and lets just say we were not even nearly ready! The we had P.E the girls were doing relays but I forgot my gear which was bad! Then we had Irish and we started a debate! It was all very interesting! Later on that day we had Science with Ms.B and we did an experiment on the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis!

                                                                    Tuesday came in a flash and we had religion first, which meant acting out our Homeless drama! Then we had Tech. with Mr.W were I continued on my clock and learned that our group didn't get through to the F1 in Schools! Also on Tuesday for our Young Scientist Project we had to go to Maynooth for an interview with a physiotherapist. We got lots of tips on how to make our experiment more accurate! It was really fun and interesting! When I got back I h+ad double Home Ec. which meant JunkKoutre and lots of worries as we still hadn't started our shoes!

                                                                   Wednesday we had Work Experience and It was our last day!
         
                                                                    On Thursday we had Religion were we practiced our drama again. We had History with Ms.C and we looked at the Peterson Projection and we talked about how maps can really be drawn anyway which was kinda hard to get our heads around at the start. We had Irish too and it was debate time! I was very nervous but luckily Ciara and I won! Then we had Mini-Company  and we worked on our logo and design. Then we had English with Ms.W when we worked on our Life Story Project!

                                                                   Now it's Friday and we have had a packed day! We had Spanish in the morning and we worked on our vocab for Locality! We also had Music which meant it was time to sing!! We sang the Ed Sheeran song Give me love and we sang Christmas carols too! In Geography two girls gave a presentation on Japan and they made Dango Balls and to be honest they weren't the nicest tasting thing I've  ever had! Then We had Design with Ms.H and disaster struck!!! Our skirt that we have spent ages trying to make just didn't work! It was a disaster! So now we have to make a new skirt in one weekend! Wish me luck!
