Mini-Company

                  On Wednesday, we went to the Moat theathre in Naas for the second time. In the theathre, there was St.Wolstans, Monsterevin and Clane school. We had workshop on there about our mini company and the co-ordinatior, Orlaith was cheking up on our progress. :)
Our product is a holder for biscuits that you attach on to a flask or a mug so it saves time and energy by holding the biscuits for you. It also has a handle to make a flask easier to carry.

Orlaith loves our idea and she said that the sooner we get working on it, the faster and the more succesfull it will be.

After discusing everyones products and their plans for the forceable future in relation to their mini-company, we were finished and Mrs Leanord let us go to Mc Donnels where we all pigged out :L
At 1 o clock we left Naas on the bus and were in the school by lunch time.
We will be going four more times through out the year before the mini-company competition :)
Talk soon xx

Colour Me Beautiful

                          Last Friday, two women called Louise amd Lizz came to our school for a workshop. During second class on Friday, class Emnet were called down to the demo room with our home ec teacher Mrs Mc Ardle. We all sat down and the ladies introduced themselves to us. They went through all the different types of colours first in fashion and then after a while they went around and divided us into groups according to our hair colour, eye colour and skin type. Example, If you have dark eyes, dark hair and dark skin, then you are in the deep group ( they can wear deep colours like reds and purples)


I was the only one in the class in the 'light' group because my hair eyes and skin are all light.
I had to go down to the top of the room and sit on a chair in front of my class. Then Lizz and Louise put different colours against me and everyone was able to see clearly which ones suited me or not. It was realy interesting and we learned alot. They also described different styles to us and we answered a questionair to decide what type of style we are.
It was realy good and thanks so much to Lizz and Louise for their time :)
Talk soon :D

Carlingford :) x

         One of the first things we did in TY was our trip to Carlingford Adventure Centre in Louth. It was realy fun and everyone made new friends. On Monday morning we got the bus from the esso garage in celbridge. The bus left at 7 am and an hour and a half later we were sitting in the centre talking with the leaders about rules and what we would be doing. Soon we were shown to our rooms. I stayed in a room with Laura, Zoe, Fiona, Jessica and Rachel. We unpacked and put on old clothes wellies and coats. After a while we walked to a huge field about 20 minutes away from the centre. The field was full of different obstical courses that we had to complete. We were made wear helmets and harnesses. Then our leader, Mat, led us to some of the different obstical courses. They were realy fun and everyone had to listen to each other in order to finish them. One was called comunication Breakdown. It was a big shed which was pitch black inside with three different stories made out of wood. Each story had tunnels and we had to find our way from one entrance to the other by going through the passages. Our whole group had to fit in it and no one could see a thing. After a while we eventualy found our way out :) It was such a good experience.

When we were finnished the obstical courses we went back to the centre where we were fed beans, chips and chiken nuggets :) We were destroyed with muck and so we went upstairs to our rooms after lunch to change. We were told to wear togs and to pack a swimming back.. After about an hour, we walked about 10 minutes down to the local peer and beach. It was sooo windy so it was freezing. However we did get a loan of wetsuites :)

The leaders then made a raft out of three rowing boats and soon we were in the middle of the sea in a big raft paddling along singing songs and having a laugh. It soon got out of control though and we ended up throwing each other off the raft and into the water :P haha
Soon after we were dryed up and back in our clothes we went back to the centre for dinner. We had stew with potatoes and ice-cream :D it was soooo nice! ha
After dinner we went back upstairs for a while where we cleaned up a bit and put on nice warm clothes, hiking boots and wolly socks haha..
We were going for a hike.
An hour later, everyone gathered downstairs and the group i was in set out on a three hour hike up the side of the mountain with our leader, Mat. It was raining and very cold but we had such a laugh climing and walking.
When we got home we got nice warm showers and we then went to the local chinese and ordered lovely food :D  Soon we were told to go to bed but we didnt get to sleep for a while :P haha

On Tuesday morning, we set out on another hike but this time we had a task. We had to go around in small groups collecting numbers and letters in the woods and it took us hours but we did have a laugh and almost ended up running the whole time haha

We also wen to a high ropes area where we put on helments and harnesses and had to walk across ropes realy high up and do different obsticals up high. It was deffinatly my favourite part of the trip :D

We went home on tuesday evening at about 5pm.
It was an amazing experience and was great bonding trip. Thanks to Ms Roan and Ms O Callaghan for going with us :D we realy enjoyed it! :)
Byee
