Full Speed Ahead!

We are all definitely settled into TY by now and the weeks are starting to fly by already. I can't believe that it is nearly midterm already!! 

   Next Friday is our dress up day for Halloween. TY's theme is Zombies! Can't wait to see what outfits everyone comes in with. It is sure to be a good day.

   At the moment we have lots of projects to do and we are so busy with all the work that seems to be piling up. We recently did our maths project on a famous mathematician, myself and Alannah did Archimedes. We found out loads about him as a mathematician and we also discovered that the owl in a Disney movie was named after him!! 

  At the moment we are watching "The Pursuit of Happiness" in religion to teach us about poverty. It is a sad movie but we are all learning loads. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to our present religion teacher. We thank her for all she has done and we look forward to seeing her in the future. link

Junk Kouture

At the start of TY all of us had to get into groups of three as we are all entering in the Junk Kouture competition. We all must make a dress entirely out of recycled materials. My fellow designers in my group are Alana and Liz. Our dress is going to be completely decorated with BOTTLECAPS. Colourful bottlecaps  that we collected from the many pubs in Celbridge.
     One day myself and Alana went around to all of the pubs collecting as many bottlecaps as we could and now we have hundreds of bottlecaps. So now we spend our Art, Home Ec and TY design classes paper   mashaing our skirt and sewing bottletops onto our bodice. We spent hours at the start of the year with a hammer and nail hammering two holes into each individual bottletop. Hopefully when it's finished it will all have been worth it !!

We Are the Champions XD

Our class, Cinealtas put on a great bumble bee performance at the fun walk and we won the prize for TY's !! We enjoyed a tin of roses and some extra goodies from our amazing tutor (: We were very convincing as bumble bees, we looked swaggy in our bully bee outfits and as a result of much practice our swag walk and bullying improved

Fun walk XD

At the moment we are preparing for the fun walk. Making bumble bee outfits, dancing to IMMA BEE:L and here comes the sun. We are all super nervous about performing tomorrow but I'm sure it will be lots of fun!!

Carlingford !! XD

Early Monday morning the TY's of St. Wolstan's were cold and tired but the excitement of the days ahead seemed to make it all worth while. 
    Leaving the Esso garage at 7 am there was a buzz about the buses as no one could imagine exactly what awaited us when we arrived in Carlingford Co. Louth. Approx an hour and a half later we arrived in the small town of Carlingford.
    Getting off the bus into the cold morning we didn't know what to expect. As we made our way to "Carlingford Adventure Centre" we took in our surroundings. As we all packed into the court outside the centre the buzz and excitement in the atmosphere was almost tangable.
     Later after having had a talk from our new instructors we all were given our room keys. Not knowing what to expect I think I can speak on behalf of all TY students that we were all surprised and over joyed that each room had a bathroom!! We all didn't have to share one bathroom!! (:
    First thing we did was canoeing.....!! We made our way down to the water. We got into extremely flattering wetsuits, life jackets and helmets. All ready to go we paired up and before long we were in a double canoe making our way to a "magical" waterfall.
    Going under the waterfall supposedly gives you 1 extra day of live. After going through the scary tunnel and standing under the freezing water I was unsure of this.
    Next we had fun in a zorb ball rolling down the hill. We  did high ropes, group activities and laser, a giant war game were we got to kill one another a dress up like soldier.
      Carlingford was a memory we will all remember.
