Work Experience!

This week we started our work experience on Wednesday and we also are practising our dance for the fun walk. 

I started work in Maynooth Bookshop at 9.30 on Wednesday, when I went in first I met everyone and they were all so nice, I got shown around the place and they showed me what to do. I did loads of different jobs such as pricing, invoices and returns. I finished up work experience at 4. I really enjoyed my work experience and im looking forward to going back next Wednesday.

Our Fun Walk is next week and we were busy practicing for it this week, we had to coordinate a dance with our class and put music to it, its going to be a lot of fun, TY's colour is yellow so we'll all be wearing yellow. 

Carlingford!

Last week we went to Carlingford in Louth, we had to be at Esso for 7am to get the bus to Carlingford, we all put our bags in the bus and got in our seats. We arrived in Carlingford at about 9 and we all got out, got our bags and made our way to the Adventure Centre. At the Adventure Centre a staff member spoke to us about what we were going to do, when the meal times were and the rules. We then had to organise who was going to be in our rooms. We were then given our room number and we went to our room and got sorted. We were split up into two groups A & B. My group then had our first activity, Canoing. It was great craic and we rowed over to this cave where we got water thrown over our heads, this appartently meant that we would live an extra day so we had nothing to lose by doing it! We then went back, dried up and went to lunch. After lunch we had another activity and then we came back for dinner and then went to another activity. The first day was a lot of fun and when we went back to the hostel some people got chinese or chipper or went to the disco that was on in the centre. After a rather sleepless night we were up at 8am for breakfast, after breakfast we went straight to the water and did Kayaking which was really fun aswell, We also went on the water trampoline and jumped into the sea and played different games before we went back to shore. We had lunch and then went to our last activity in Carlingford which was laser tag, again was really fun and tiring mostly because of the steep walk up the hill! We were back at the centre for five and we got our bags and boarded the bus home. I had such a good time in Carlingford and made lots of memories, really want to go back again! :)

JC Results!

Wednesday was the big day, we got our Junior Cert results, we had to be in school before 12 O'Clock and go to the hall where we would get our results. I was so nervous as I waited to get the brown envelope but I was relieved when I saw what I got, I'd say that everybody did very well and tried their hardest to get the result they wanted. Everybody had a great night celebrating (only to be tired the next day!) We were congratulated by our teachers and now the weight is off our shoulders. We are really looking forward to our trip to Carlingford on Monday, we will be doing lots of fun outdoor activities such as kayaking and more. We are getting the bus on Monday morning bright and early (7 O'Clock) and making our way to Carlingford.
