TY night :(

TY is almost over and we are getting prepared for our TY night on the 30th May. I think we are learning a dance to do and maybe play some jembe. We learned the haka in rugby so maybe we'll do that too. Two girls have been assigned to a subject and they have to design the stand that will be shown on the night. The stands will have all the work we have done for the year and any competitions or awards we have won :)

Even though we don't want TY to end ,It will still be a great night!

"Easter Feaster"

Before our Christmas holidays ,Emnet held a French breakfast for our class. To pay them back we are going to have an "Easter Feaster" for them on Wednesday before we go to the ballet.

People are making cakes and bringing in sweets and drinks. We will just have a party before the easter holidays. We'll probably just listen to music ad have the craic ;)

Ballet Show :)

On Wednesday ,we are going to Hayley's ballet show. She doesn't know that we are going so we are going to surprise her on the day. We are using out TY funds to pay for the day which is good. I've heard she is really good at ballet so I'm excited to see the show. :)

New History Topic :)

Seeing as there wasn't enough information on Aphrodite ,I changed my topic. I am now doing it on The Great Famine in Ireland. We have to focus in on one main point so Ms McH said that I should focus on the people who left Ireland during the Famine. I am going to look at how they survived in different countries. How they coped with new food ,language and getting a job to earn money.

I already have two book sources to use so I don't have to rely on the internet. :)

Music night :)

On the 30th of March ,we had our annual music night in school. We do it every year to raise money for the music department. Girls sang ,danced and played instruments in the show. TY's had a part too. We sang "Mama Said" by Dionne Bromfield. We had dance moves aswell. We all had great fun on stage. :)

Retreat at Glendalough :)

Yesterday we went on out TY retreat to Glendalough in Co.Wicklow. It wasn't like our other retreats but it was really good :D We did a day in the life of Saint Kevin. We walked around and saw old churches and houses where he used to live. We saw a little hole in the wall where he used to sleep. We went to a lake which had healing water ,we had to cup some of the water in out hands and slowly let it drip from our hands. This was to get rid of anything bad we didn't want anymore.

We went for a silent walk which was really relaxing. Everyone was so tired on the way home but we really enjoyed our day :)

Geography -End of year project.

For our end of year project ,Mrs L told us to choose one thing that we like. We have to do research on the geography of whatever we have chosen.

"Everything has a geography"

I chose baking :) What we have to do is make a map on Google maps. We then have to pick 5 land marks to drop a pin on ,explaining something about baking from that country. All the country stops have to be connected with a marker so it takes you on a little trip.

We have to blog while we're doing the project. So we have

5 country stops
