 Bowling was so much fun even though I was terrible. When the game of bowling was finished we went to white water in Newbridge for lunch and some last minute christmas shopping. Then it was time to go home. The bus ride home was the best fun I've had in ages thanks to Jen. A good way to end the term. Hope everyone has a good Christmas :)

Who better to sell holly than a Holly?

Today we were in town selling holly for the ISPCC's Holly Days. The ISPCC is a childrens charity. It is in charge of running child line. So all the TY's turned out armed with santa hats to collect our holly boxes. We got our stations and put on yellow plastic aprons( yeah,we looked cool )
       It was a good day and the time flew by. The majority of people we nice and we learned some selling tactics.\We even managed to squeeze in a McDonalds. It was a good day all round.

Wow checked shirts must be in fashion

On Saturday we did a flash-mob at the turning on of the Christmas lights in Celbridge. It was so fun to actually to it. We have been practicing for so long and keeping the secret. We danced to a mash up of windy city from the school musical Calamity Jane.
    When we got to the church we tried to look as casual as 30 people in checked shirts can and mingled in among the crowd. As soon as we heard the music it was showtime. We danced then left like nothing had happened and the flash-mob was a success.

Road safety

Yesterday we went to Punchestown for a road safety exhibition. It was like a follow on from the road safety we did earlier in the year. There was some other schools there too. First we had time to walk around different stalls that were all relating to road safety. There was interactive displays to test your reaction time, free reflective jackets and even a car that spun upside down simulating a crash ( I was too small )

        After everyone sat down and we were introduced to the speakers.They all said their bit and there was plenty of videos to scare us all.It really hit home about how many people actually die on the roads each year and that was kinda scary. I think I'll just wear my hi-vis jacket everywhere , just in case.

Maths Madness

Today we went to Rathbeggan Lakes to get some hands with project maths. It was great craic. First we were split up into groups of 4. My group was me, Caoimhe, Bethany and Laura.
         We were given tasks that cover different aspects of project maths. It was hands on and it was good to see the things instead of diagrams. It was fun too I almost forgot I was doing maths.
         At the end we had a few minutes to look around there was lots of ducks and there was even a goose.The goose was slight aggressive and tried to bite everyone but he was cool. It was freezing at the lake, I felt like an onion with all my layers on. At least I was warm.
                                                       All round a good day :)

Rathbeggan yeah !

my goose friend
