English Workshop :)

Last week, 5 girls in our class went to do a workshop with Ms.G our English teacher. The next day for our double class, they came to do some of the games and activities that they did which were great craic!! We played zip,zap,boing which was really fun cause you had to be so dramatic in what you did! We did loads of other things aswell where we had to get into groups and make things like washing machines and pirate ships which was good too :)
The last thing we did was a game where we had to make a train train track and some of the girls had to make a train and then the train tracks started moving up and down and it ended in a dog pile at the end!
Thanks for a great class girls :)

Fun Run

On Friday 2 weeks ago we had our friendship week fun run. We have one every year but this one had a bit of a twist :) usually we choose a theme to go with our class colour and we dress up in costumes but this year, we were given our colour (ours was yellow!) and we had to wear a t-shirt in that colour and then come up with a routine to do for the judges based on a song to do with friendship :) we chose our song as "We Got Together" from Grease and came up with a rotine which had cartweels, flippy things and dive rolls from Mr. L :) even though his wig fell off it was really good all in all :) we then headed off with some of the teachers to act as traffic wardens to the rest of the school crossing the road!! When we got back to school then we got a drink and a bar from the prefects and a bit of dancing in the courtyard before we headed home :) We didnt win but we didn't mind cause it was so much fun!!

Mini Company

We all headed to Naas with Ms.L our Mini Company teacher to the Moat Theatre for a workshop with Orla form Kildare County Enterprise. We arrived along with a load of other schools from Clane, Newbrdge and other places in Kildare. We were given a 15 minute lunch after which we were out into our groups and had to think of 50 ideas that we could use for our Mini Company products. After the workshopwe headed down to McDonalds and got lunch before we headed back to school :)
Orla came to our school yesterday to see where we are at with our ideas and what we are doing with them.

JC Results

Nerve Racking much?! We arrived in school that morning but everyone was exhausted after Carlingford! We had classes but didn't do much, no one could really concentrate! We had double PE but only had one class and we started rugby with the Development Officers from Leinster Rugby. We went back in to get changed back to uniforms and headed to the hall to get our results. Everyone started to get REALLY nervous when we lined in our classes from 3rd year to get our results! I was delighted with my results :) That night we all went out to Time Venue in Naas and had an absolutley amazing night :)
The next day we were absolutlry wrecked! We were given tea, coffee and chocolate from the prefects in the hall with our teachers and had a great lunch :)

Social Development Day :)

I missed most of the Social Development Day :( but from what I was told the morning part was just as good as the afternoon! When I arrived in, we had to do a list on how to help Santas Elves during the Christmas Rush and then headed for lunch. After lunch we talked in our groups about our posters and did facepainting and had a great time :)

Carlingford :)

Wow....what an amazing night!!!! We all came to the esso garage beside Abbey Farm at quarter to 7 on a Monday morning? Really early to say the least!!! We left the Esso at around quarter past on our Mini bus Ms.R and the girls and headed to Carlingford :)When we arrived we grabbed our bags from the bus and headed down to the centre. When we got there, we signed down our groups and went to the common room to get our room assignments. We got a room with 12 beds ( Room 21 :D) and ran to save the best bed and unpack all our food which over flowed one of the big drawers and had more in the second!!!We then headed out to start our days of activities :) we went with Ms. O'C and Sean from the centre and started all our bonding activities which got us wet and muckey but sure nobody cared :) after finding each activity with our maps we got gems depending on how long we had to complete the task. We went to put our helmets back into the "bomb shelter" where we got attacked by the other girls with muck (thanks for that girls!!) and headed back to the centre for lunch.A fter lunch we all headed back to ou rooms and got changed and headed down to do our water activities :) We all got into our wetsuits and helmets and grabbed our PAAAADEEULL and headed into our canoes Turbo, Minty and Fresh!! WE jumped into the freezing water and when we got back we got to jump of the piers :) We went back to the centre, had dinner, and headed out for our evening hike in our two groups. We were in the second group so we were the last to leave the centre. When we got back to the centre after our hike and crawling through a pitch black tunnel, the other group were no where to be found so we headed out to the chinese with Ms O'C :) When they eventually arrived back! we had free time and went to see each others rooms and food supplies ;) and a had a great midnight feast!! Everyone was exhausted but the girls wouldnt let us sleep! We were woken the next morning and headed out for morning activities, which were pretty scary from hanging of a tiny platform with 3 other girls but enjoyed by everyone :) we went back for lunch and had a game of vollyball and then headed out for orientiering!! After getting lost and attcked by rams we were pretty tired so we headed back to the centre and changed our clothes, said our goodbyes and headed back to Celbridge to get ready for JC resultss!! We had a great time and would definatly do it again!!
