Our Masterpiece!

 Today my class and I went to visit our somewhat Masterpiece in the school's Meditation room. Our artwork dedicated to St.Brigid looks really well and I am so proud of how our class worked together to get it done in such a small amount of time :) We really managed to create a sacred praying and peaceful space for all to visit. I am really looking forward to our trip to Kildare Town on Tuesday as it will give us a better insight into Brigid's life :) Like i promised, here are some pics :)! Hope you like it!

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

hi guys :)

Happy St.Brigid's Day! :D

 Today is the First of February and yes it is St.Brigid's Day :) St.Brigid is the Patroness Saint of Ireland and she is also the Patron of Scholars,the sick and Animals. To celebrate St.Brigid's Feast Day, my religion class and I are decorating our prayer room to make it special and personalised to St.Brigid!
 I am involved in this project as a historian, this means we research her life and everything associated and we write this out nicely for people to read and learn all about her. The group I am working with are linking up with the artists to produce a round tower and we are writing our information to spread around it. That way it is nice and easy to read and wont bore people :) We are setting this all up today so i will be sure to take a few photos to upload :) Wish us Luck! 

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!"

Back to School...

 It is currently 11.38 on Wednesday, the 11th of Jan 2012.  Happy belated New Year everyone haha :) We came back to school this Monday and yes it was very very hard to get out of bed at 7 that morning! But, I'm slowly getting used to it, fell asleep at 10.30 last night, that will tell ya how tired I was ! However, its great to get back into routine and getting to see all my friends again :)
 This Friday all TY's and 2nd years are making a trip out to BT Young Scientist to see all the projects ! We are so proud that 4 groups from our TY group got into it and are presenting their projects these next few days ! :) Congratulations to all of them! They'll do great :) I cant wait to see them all there on Friday! :)
 Just got some really GOOD NEWS!! we are starting ZUMBA tomorrow! I am so so excited! I love zumba. Its a form of exercise but you dance to really fast music! Me & my sister did it a few times in a school nearby in Maynooth, it was great fun! Also got news that we are being thought how to give massages properly too! I cannot wait for tomorrow and every thursday from now on... :) Happy Days ! Thanks Mrs.L !

Fashion Show....

 So Today we had our Home Ec Fashion Show. I had to model my groups outfit, our theme was Moulin Rouge and YES, it was more embarrasing then you could imagine. Im just glad its over, but i will miss the panicing during each class as we run out of time and try to get things done, hehe!! Our classes spent a good few months designing our outfits that we had to make out of jeans and a tee shirt that we all got! Of course we were allowed add bits but the jeans and tee had to be the main parts. Overall, it was a good show and everyone had great stuff to show for all their hard work :) i think we did our teachers proud...slightly.
 Now that the fashion show panic is over, back to mini co! My group are falling a little behind so were all rushing to try catch up and get the work done :) lets hope for the best.
