Fashion Show!

This week we were very bust preparing for the fashion show that was being held in the Celbridge Manor Hotel. On Tuesday a few of us who had volunteered to help out went to the hotel to paint the catwalk. It was almost unrecognizable after we had finished. A few of us who were still working on it stayed a bit longer than everyone else. We stapled the material to the catwalk with a stapler (I got very good at using it I must say) after that we were finished and the place was almost ready for the fashion show that night. It went on for two nights and it was very successful and everyone enjoyed it.

We are also very busy with our mini-companies. Our mini-company is called ''Cache'', we make mini coin purses with an attachable key-chain. They come in many different designs and patterns.

This week we went to Carton House to see the ''Vanishing Art'' exhibition, the art was very good and interesting. The Irish rugby team were on the grounds training so we went down to see if we could meet them and get a picture, we saw them and they said hello and that they'd be out to see us after their training session. But sadly our bus was going before they had finished so we didn't get to meet them :( but it was really good fun waiting for them haha

Mini-Company & Road Safety!

This week we are busy working on our mini-company product. The person from student enterprise came in on Tuesday and we told her how we were getting on with our product. My product is called ''Cache'', it is a mini coin purse with an attachable key ring on it, it comes in lots of different patterns and designs. It will be on sale in the science corridor very soon! At the moment we only have a couple made, but we are going to try and get enough made for the fashion show in Celbridge Manor at the end of the month, we are being allowed to sell our products on a stall there, which is a great opportunity so I really hope we are prepared for it. We have to make the posters for our product as well as social media pages such as Facebook and Twitter.

We had a road safety talk on Thursday, there was a Garda in to show us a powerpoint and talk to us about it. It really opened my eyes as to how dangerous the road can be, there was a good few videos on the impact a crash has on people, and there was also devastating stories about families who have to deal with loved ones who passed away due to unsafe driving. He told us the role that the Road Safety Unit has and what jobs they carry out there. Their program is called ''It Won't Happen To Me'' which in my opinion is a very good name because when people hear about road accidents the think ''it wont happen to me'' but in fact it can if they dont drive safely.

Mid-term and Halloween!

On the last Friday before we got our mid-term break we had a halloween dress up day. TY's were zombies, I didn't dress up but loads of people did. There was a winner picked from each class and they were involved in the parade in the hall at lunchtime. I had a great mid-term, I went to Monaghan to see cousins and went places with friends and had a great halloween night. I was very tired though when we came back! Only a few more weeks until Christmas now :)
