For Mini company my group decided to do Candy Trees and call our business 'Candy Blossom'.Eimear Plunkett , Amy Byrne, Lauren Beale,Lauren Mc Donald,Aoife byrne and Niamh O'Halloran are in my group!We have finally got all the products to make the trees themselves which caused alot of stress and anger in the group at the start but its all Grand now :D We are selling them in the Science corridor every Tuesday at Lunch time and we hope they will be successful . We are giving people the choice of what sweets they want from bonbons to Maltesers ! Theyre a really good price and are well worth it ! Heres a few pictures of candy trees :D

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

On Friday we had our annual school Fun Walk which was great craic. Each year St Wolstans holds the Fun walk in aid of different charity's, each student is asked to bring in two euro to support the chosen charity's.
Each year is  given a colour to dress up in ,Ty's got yellow :) each class in the school has to come up with a dance with the theme of friendship and theres a compettion for the best class of each year ! CORNARO WON WOO ! Our theme was the ugly ducking , all of us dressed up as ducks ! Ms O'R was the mother duck and Lauren was the ugly ducking.We danced to Its my party  , keep on moving and We're all in this together while lauren waddled away with the duck song and in the end we all came together as a flock of ducks :D we put in alot of effort into the costumes and dance so luckily our hard work paid off :D And because we won we had a party in English with Ms O'R with the box of roses we won :D

Work experience has Ailbhe in stitches !

Here's a video myself and Ailbhe made about our work experience ! Slightly embarrassing ...haha
so far i've had two weeks of work experience and its been great :) 

Walk like a lady

So for the first three Wednesdays of Ty we had different sorts of workshops from Positive Parties with Denise Devlin to Confidence building with Austin Dunne to Deporting and Etiquette with Kate and Brenda from Bk inniú and last Wednesday for one workshop we had Mr Corcoran and Ms Hughes to help with work experience and last but not least massaging with Gilíosa ! Each workshop was different in a good way ..
Massaging with Gilíosa was a great way to relax and get a free massage  waheey ,but was also a chance to learn how to massage properly and we also learned about how to massage the head correctly :)
Positive parties was where the craic was at from dressing up in banana costumes to Laughter yoga it was so great fun as we got to play pass the parcel :D and during this workshop we also got the chance to see Ms Leahy in pink sparkly 7inch heels  haha .
Bk inniú was something very different but was also fun , we started with deporting learning how to walk like lady's shoulders back and the likes... felt a bit like the ICA without the seriousness hehe , we then changed into heels and learned how to walk properly to save ourselves the shame of falling on a night out !We were also taught how to apply makeup correctly and the importance of looking after our skin which shamefully is something I lack on doing a lot !

This Wednesday coming is our First work experience ... I'm going to Elm hall Nursing home which I'm so nervous about but at the same time so excited as nursing is something I've always wanted to do !Hopefully Ill be grand :)

Something new to do

Last week myself and a few of the girlos decided to join choir as we have plenty of time to join new things compared to last year ! It was great craic even tho none of us are the best singers we still managed to join in the songs !On Friday we had our first school mass of the year and the choir sang in it and despite the embarrassment we managed to do just fine :D We have practise tomorrow after school which should be a bit of fun I hope :)

The Adventures of Carlingford !

On Monday the 16th of September the Ty's trip to Carlingford began ...As I was dragged out of bed at half 6 :( on Monday morning with my bags packed and set for adventure I met up with the year at Esso where the bus was to bring us on the journey. The night before myself  Niamh  O'H ,Eimear P  ,Amy B ,Lauren B, Shauna C, Aoife F and Lauren Mc met up in Tesco to stock up on some food when I say some we got a little bit carried away and filled a trolley which could of lasted us a week ..opps!
The eight of us were planning on getting a room of eight so on arrival we all rushed off the bus to get our room only to figure out we weren't getting our room until after lunch haha. So we left our bags in a store room and were split into two groups one of 30 which I was in and one of 37 these were the two groups we stayed in for the two days !  My groups first activity was laser tag , which was such a hike to get to in the forest  but was well worth it as it was so much fun and I was on the red team who won 3 out of the 4 games wooohoo  !!We also got to wear army suits which added greatly to the excitement !  We got back to the centre where we got our rooms and Luckily we got our room of eight YAY !! Then we had our lunch , after lunch my group went on another hike up to a big field where we played team building games which ended up our group throwing little Plunk through a spiders web made of rope and her landing on the ground  haha she was okay tho !And our team won with Jeff  with 12 gems woo :D We got back to the centre and had dinner which was not so gourmet haha  .. We chilled in our room for awhile and unpacked our bags as if we were staying for weeks !We then went on a night walk which ended  up with Lauren Leading a group of us through the forest blindfolded which was possibly the worst idea ever , After playing a few games we went home but went through an old drain tunnel and safe to say never again it was pitch black and was so scary but im happy I did it ! We got back and had Chinese and then headed for bed at 11 and once we got to our room it didn't take long before we all fell straight to sleep ! Another early morning on Tuesday where alarms were set  in my room for  half 6 !! We all got up eventually, packed and stripped our beds ! We then set of to do activities where we went body zorbing which was so So fun we played sumo wrestling ! After Zorbing we all went into a Maize which I panicked in and got out of haha ! In the afternoon we went to the sea to go kayaking which was great fun as we got to go to a trampoline in the middle of the sea , we then went to an old cave where we put our heads under a waterfall which allegedly puts an extra day on your life :) After we got off the water we got on the bus and went home :( Carlingford was a great experience and gave me so many memories and new friends !

A trip down the road

The day after results (Sept 12th) the three Ty history classes took a trip down the road to Castletown house for a tour . It was a horrible rainy day and the plan was to walk to the house but thanks to Ms Mc H we got a bus WOO! We arrived before 2 o clock and we were then split into two groups one went ahead of the other in order for us all to see the rooms ! Our tour guide was great and told us a lot about the house , she also told us that she once felt the presence of a spirit in the house but she said there's no bad spirits in the house only good ...Thank God! It was a good day out and was a good way to relax after the partying the night before ! I'm happy with my Junior cert results and Wrights was amazing so it was a great way to finally finish the first three years of Secondary school and to move on to the senior end ... :)

Here's a picture of the three Ty classes outside Castletown house!
