Xtreme.ie

On Wednesday the 20th of May we left school at 9:00am and got on a bus and went to Xtreme.ie

When we got there we didn't waist any time and we got straight to it.We put on our harness and helmet.The first thing we did was the second level aerial trekking.It was lots of fun.



Then we did the Dropzone Freefall.This was terrifying!

After that we did the climbing wall.


My favourite activity we did was ZipLining.

TY Retreat:
On the 13th of May,It was our retreat day.We left the school at 9:00am.And got a bus to Maynooth College.The purpose of our retreat was to reflect and have time for ourselfs.We played different fun games and also debated on different subjects like equality and who has it easier etc.We had a great day.

Driving Lessons!

On April 14th,We went to Leinster Driving Campus.It was my first time driving so I was so nervous and excited.

There was three girls per car.Alley and Faith were in the same car as me.Alley went first, I went second and Faith went third.We got 30 minutes each and then near the end we got 10 minutes each.

We then did a practice Theory Test.And also tried out 'Drunk Goggles'.They were goggles that showed us what our eyesight would be like if we were drunk.We had a great laugh,some girls found it very difficult to even pick up a cone!

Easter Holidays!

One more day left in school and then we're off for two weeks!Hallelujah!

Happy Easter!:)

Work Experience & St.Patrick's Day

Work Experience:

This is our third placement for work experience.For my third placement I am in Boots.I really enjoy going here every Wednesday.It is my favourite placement out of them all.Everyone is so kind and friendly.                                                                                                                  

It was St.Patrick's Day this week!

SciFest

For Scifest, Molly and I came up with the idea of testing for bacteria on make up brushes.Our project was called 'To Investigate the bacteria on make up brushes'.                                                                                                                            We chose this idea because we always wondered how much  bacteria was on make up brushes and can it cause problems,  eg. Infections (conjunctivitis) or skin irritation/acne.   

We were very happy with the outcome. We got through to       the next round of Scifest in Tallaght IT and we also won         first place in 'Highly Commended'.We can't wait until the         next round and we hope we do well.

Briery Gap Competition

This week we went to the Briery Gap Competition.Our drama was called 'Willow' it was based on William Shakespear and being anti-semetic.

Our play went very well,we don't know who got threw yet but we will have to wait and see.After the play was over we went down the town to get something to eat and we were stopped by a local radio station called 'Classic Hits 4fm'.Alison and I were interviewed about Niall Horan and afterward we got goody bags,it was lots of fun!
