Music Night .. Tonight!

Tonight is the music night in our school as I told you about before, we are singing shake it out and it actually sounds so good! It should be a good night and I cant wait to hear what the other classes are singing, I know that the other TY class is signing Wake me up (jitterbug) I cant wait to hear it because their dancing aswel! Also we are finally ordering our jumpers, were getting a maroon colour and you can put whatever you want on them like for your name or whatever so I'm still deciding what to put put anyways,
That's all really,

Shake it out..

Next Wednesday is the music night, this is where 1st,2nd TY 5th and some 6th years preform a song for the school. Were doing Shake It Out by Florence and the Machine with Eriu and Fodla are doing Wake Me Up. So far its going good but we still have alot of practice to do! Its fun though and I like the song which makes things alot easier! , I'll let you's know how it goes!

Child Watch Ireland (:

Yesterday a man came in from Child Watch Ireland to speak to us about dangers on the internet and how to be careful in who you talk to and who you add on whatever sites you go onto like facebook, twitter etc.. He told us stories about things that he has seen and situations he has dealt with in the past some on them were so scary and hard to beilve that these things really do happen. One fact he told us that stook to me was that 3 children get trafficed every 30 seconds which is so crazy to think of. He told us many facts about how children get involved with these people who are dangerous. He spoke about cyber bulling aswel which is such a huge issue in our world today because technology is such a huge part of out lifes, it was a really interesting talk and im so happy he came in to talk to us about it.

Braveforce..

So yesterday all TYs headed off to Meath to an assult course, it was so hard! So it started off running up a hill which wasnt to bad I suppose, but then we had to litterly drag our bodies through this tunnel and I got kicked in the face which made everything so much better! haha Thanks Emer.. There were rivers and things to climb and jump things to get over and many more other obstacles and it was actually so much fun looking back on it :) but I honestly dont think I would do it again soon, mabye next year :) Im so proud of myself for sticking it out and doing it though.
Thats all for now,

Work Expierence :)

For my 2 week of Work Expierence I went to a Primary School, I really didnt want to go there because I have no interest in teaching! But after the first day of being with the juniour infants doing p.e, being on yard duty and hearing all the funny stories they had to tell me from the weekend and the lovely staff I couldnt wait to go back the next day. Tuesday was really busy, I was putting up posters and helping to set up the school for world book day and I was busy all day! On Wednesday I went swimming with the 2nd and 4th class and then I went back to the school and listened to a few students read. On Thursday someone from Naas that also coaches the Lenstier team came in to teach the 6th class and he was lovely.  The school was so nice and the students were lovely, Danny the principal always made sure I was busy and had something to do which was so good! Im really happy I spent the week there and it was a really good expierence. At the end of the week I got a thank you card and 20euro from the sectetary and Danny which was so nice! Also they told me I was always welcome back to help them in June because it is such a busy month!

Mullingar!

Finally we got to preform our drama and surprisingly it went great and I was so happy with everyones preformence! Our group had so many disasters and changes throughout the time we were told we had to do this but eventually we came up with the idea of doing the poem Tich Miller by Wendy Cope. Vicky Played Tich and she was great! Then Niamh played Tubby ( i know shes not tubby) but she played the part so well, Anita Claire Shannen and Brona played the parts of the bullies,Leah was the teacher, Helen Emma And Aisling were the Hockey kids :) and i was the narrator :) it was so much fun and after all the freaking out and mind changing it was actually such a success! Thanks to Mrs Guilfoyle for all the effort she put in!
Thats all for now,
