Santry :)

Yesterday 52 students from St Wolstan's headed off to Santry to take part in all the events. There was events from running to hurdles and also shot putt and javelin, it was such a successful day for St Wolstan's as Christine from 3rd year won the hurdling final so well done to her! There were loads of other schools there and the competition was very high! Well done to everyone who took part as everyone did so well in all their events. Also we have won for the last 2 years so this year were going for the 3rd year in a row and I think we have a great chance :)We have the finals tomorrow so I cant wait for that 
thats all for now,

Swim a Mile.. or half a mile :)

Tomorrow all TYs are heading off to do the "Swim a Mile" in the National Aquatic Center. This is to raise money for Barrestown and Crumlins Children's Hospital for children that have cancer. Also is charity is in memory of Ian Daly who passed away in 2004. Ian loved to swim so his parents thought that it would be a great idea to have a swim in memory of him and this has happened every year and has been a great success. The reason it is a mile is because they said they didn't want to make the swim easy and have it as a challenge just like the challenge Ian faced.If you were to swim the mile you would be swimming 64 lengths of a 25 meter pool. Also you can split into teams and do it that way. Its always a great day out and I cant wait :)

Rapheals Fun:)

Every Wednesday, I go to St Rapheals to help out with the men up there its called "Friendship Club" its only a 15 minute walk from the school and usually we sit inside and play games and talk to them about things they did during the day, its so much fun and I really enjoy going up. Yesterday Emma Niamh Niamh and I went up and it was so warm outside! That we had to go outside inside of staying in again. . So we went up to the field and we play chasing and then Shelly came down, Shelly is the women that works there and she helps us aswel, she brought drinks and sweets so we sat around around talking and eating the sweets soaking up the nice weather while we had it! After that she brought down footballs so we kicked them around and tried to score goals, it was such a good day and they all really enjoyed themselves as did I!

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.
