Who Run The World? GIRLS!

This is my video about Girl Rising. This is a movie that was shown to us by our religion teachers.

We also had an awareness week, where we showed it to our junior years.

It was great experience and i had a great time making this video.

Oh Holly Dayss

On Wednesday the 12th of December the whole of ty headed off into town. We were volunteering at The DSPCC by selling holly on the streets of Dublin.

We each wore a Santa hat, a yellow vest to show we were volunteering. We then got a box of holly badges and a little white un-openable box to put the money in.

We were put in pairs and given Locations around Dublin. I went with Aoife and we were selling at the gates of Trinity College. I was super excited.

When we got there we started selling it was such a great experience. Every time someone walked by I would wish them 'Merry Christmas' and some donated.

There was two boys from Trinity going around and they gave me a sweet and said it was for my good work.

My sister then came and gave me a hot chocolate hehe I love her.

After we finished my box was really heavy! So that was good I guess

We then met my mom for McDonalds and starbucks.

Such a great experience and I has so much fun.

A Robot Chased Me!

Last Thursday Ty's headed out to Punchestown. When we got there Jenny, Aoife and I posed for pictures.

It was so interesting, we learned so much about road safety.

There was a robot called 'Tangobot' it was so cool omg!

The talk was pretty intense but it was very interesting.

I learned so much about being safe on the road. I will know be more careful on the roads. I will also be more weary of how serious a dumb move can be.

Sums with Goats whaaat?

On the 4th of December we went to Rathbeggan Lakes in Co Meath. We were told that we were doing maths sums in a forest and we were to bring wellies! I was a little worried but mostly excited!

When we arrived it was different than I expected it looked so cool and I was super excited!

We were divided into teams and then given activities.

We each did around 3 or 4 each. The team that did best and won got a prize of a family day pass each!

It was so much fun and really educational.

After that we went to Blanch Shopping Centre for lunch. We got McDonalds and Starbucks, yumm<3

It was such a good day!

Blog Bodies

On the 14th of November we went into Dublin city with our english teachers. They had organised for us to visit The National Museum, The Art Gallery and The W.B Yeats Museum.

Our first stop was the W.B Yeats Museum. This was really educational. I learned so much.

Our next stop was the The Art Gallery. This was my favorite because I was so interested in the paintings but also i was inspired by the amount of people there with diarys. It was just such an amazing sight!

My Favorite Painting 

Then we had lunch on Grafton Street and we had mc donalds and went starbucks. I met up with my mum who works in Brown Thomas. The girls and I went to the disney store.

Then we went to the Bog Bodies Expedition. This was real cool and interesting.

Lets Bake!

On the 22nd of November our school held a fabulous bake sale! The school had felt the need to help the Philopeans during this hard time. All tys were to bake something. Ms L also encouraged the other students to bring in cakes. This would be a monster bake sale.

When I got home I started baking cookies, muffins, cupcakes and rice crispie buns. I baked 52 cakes over all.

The next day I went down to the classroom where all the cakes were being kept and it was amazing how many cakes were there omg!

By the end of the day all the cakes were sold and all the students had full belly's!!

In the end we raised over €1,500!!

THANK YOU ALL WHO BAKED! :)

DINNNG DONNNG

On the 21st of November. Ty headed to Citywest for a Schools Across Borders talk. There was a few others schools there.

The few weeks before the trip, in our religion class, we had to prepare a presentation. We did ours on 'Gender Inequality'. Our class worked hard and as a team to do this.

On the day each school gave their presentation  and then we were divided into different groups. We were mixed with the other schools and we were given a topic. Ours was 'freedom'.

Then there was a play performed for us. There was one line that stood out to me in the play 'I AM HUMAN LIKE YOU'.

After that we got yummy chicken and fries for lunch.

Then we had different talks from different NGOs. Theses were very interesting and I learned loads.

After that we went over to the other room to draw on a piece of long paper and we all put on thoughts down.

The day was so interesting and I had so much fun.
