A Day Out in Kildare!

Yesterday we took the bus to Kildare Town where we learned a lot about the history of Kildare and St.Brigid. First we went to the Heritage Centre in the middle of Kildare Town where we watched a video about the history of Kildare and St.Brigid. After that we walked up to St.Brigid's Cathedral. We walked around and learned a lot about the history and we learned a lot about the Church of Ireland.
     After this we visited the well of St. Brigid, it was very peaceful there. When we arrived we said prayers at the prayer stones. Then we walked to another well, where we walked around it and got the water and blessed ourselves. Thankfully no one fell into the water.
    After this we headed to Whitewater shopping centre where we had a yummy lunch. And then we drove to  Naas where we played bowling. We had loads of fun and we were really tired at the end of our eventful day.
    We had a lot of fun and learned new things. And we were all very hopeful that after walking around the round tower backwards 7 times backwards that we would dream about our future husbands! What an eventful day!

Mini Company Competition!

4th March was the regional final of the Mini Company competition and Hair Couture were lucky enough to have gotten through to the regional final. We arrived in school in our new Hair Couture t-shirts with our hair done up, I had a cute bow in my hair. It was a hectic morning. Between getting backboards and posters and doing our make up the morning was a bit stressful! 
    When we arrived we couldn't believe it, we had no idea the competition was being held in a four star swanky hotel! It was amazing. Once we got to the presentation room we got set up. Our display looked amazing from pink balloons to giant posters and pink bon bons, everyone was complimenting our gorgeous display. 
   When it came to our turn to present our company we were so nervous. It was so scary to get up on a stage in front of  a room of people we didn't know! But thankfully we got through it and it went really well. We saw all of the other companies and some of them were really good. 
    Half way through the presentations wer got our free lunch. We went into this gorgeous room where we got loads of really nice food! 
   After the presentations the public came in and we sold a good few of our books! Unfortunately only one mini comapany gets through to the national final and we didn't get through. 
   But we had so much fun and learned a lot! It was an overall successful day!

Your Bladder Is Too Close To Your Bladder Like Mine !!

Yesterday, we went to a Retreat Centre in Tallaght. Here we got into groups of people that we were comfortable talking in front of. The idea behind the retreat was to get us to open up and talk about anything that might be on our minds. The retreat was to get us to relax and have a day to ourselves.
    It was a mad day! We had a really nice lady that was talking to our group. It was a pretty emotional day and we were all really tired after it. But it was agood day and we got to know each othe rin a different way after the day.
