Drama Drama Drama!!

 So yesterday all TYs took a trip out to Mullingar's Art Centre to perform our dramas that we have spent month perfecting! Well, thats the case for most of the groups however my group have made about 3 or 4 different dramas from the time we started haha! This was because we would start and not like it or it wouldnt work so we finally decided to keep our drama based on the poem Tich Miller! Funny but scary thing was, we only madeit a week ago and had to perform it in front of judges yesterday! Surprisingly, it went very well and we were all very happy with our performances! :) Everybody did great :)

Mr.s L's Blog Challenge !

 As part of out TY blogs, Mrs.L gives us different challenges which are topics we must blog about and today I'm going to write about a place i would like to visit when i leave school!
 I decided to complete this challenge today because last night i watched a movie based about World War 2 and all about the war and fighting between Germany and France! I had only planned to watch the start and record the ending to continue whenever i had the time but i got so into it and i found it so interesting that i had to watch all of it! It was about 3 hours long but was so worth it! It really gave a good insight into the unfair treatment of the Jews during the war!
 Because of this movie, i decided to blog about a place i would love to visit when i leave school, which is Auschwitz! This is the largest concentration camp complex which was set up by the Nazi's during the war to punish the Jews for their religion! These lay 37 miles West of Krakow near the polish border. The Nazi's set these camps up in May, 1940.
 Jews were forced to stay in these camps under severe conditions! They were made work and very little of their rights were met! I think it would be very interesting to visit here as we have discussed Auschwitz in History but i think it would love to see exactly how the Jews were treated and in what conditions! However, it would be  a very sad experience!
 This the gate into Auschwitz, It says "Arbeit Macht Frei" which means "Work Makes One Free!"
