Drama:)))

On Tuesday all Tys went to the Arts center in Mullingar for a drama competition. We have been preparing our drama for this competition for the past few months. When we were told we were going everyone had one question.. 'is there a mcDonalds there?' yes there was thank godd. 

Our school was the first one on and my group was on second- which i was happy with because we had it done and over with it and had more time to get mcdonalds:)) Personally i think we did the best performance we have done so far. we really put in a lot of work and i think it paid off. 

the Mullinagar art centre

All the performances were really strong from our school. I think a few of us will be heading to the final in cork. 

After my performance we strolled down the village of mullingar and got ourselfs a well rewarded mcDonalds, Its never tasted so good.

We went back to the arts center after our mcdonalds- just in time for the longest play everrrrr... still havent figured out what it was supposed to be about.. And fourtunatly we saw two extremely hilarious plays.. one was funny mainly because one of the actors forgot almost all of his lines.. poor guy,.,.

All in all it was a very enjoyable experience.

Young Scientist

We went to the rds young scientist expedition on Thursday the 8th of January. All Tys and second years went. we left the school at half nine and arrived at the rds at half ten. It was exciting to go because three girls from my science class were in it showing off their project 'the ideal condidtions fro learning'. 

Also i think everyone was excited to get all the free things there- you never come home empty handed from the young scientist. Well i know i certainly didnt:)) 

over all it was a good day but it was even bettre by the end we got to meet hometown a new irish boyband and we even got pictures with them.. Everywhere we go we seem to see someone famous!

holly day collection for the ispcc

In December all transition year students went into town to collect money for the ispcc. We had to sell holly pins and badges to fund raise for the ispcc. It was so cold everyone was well wrapped up, but everyone was still freeezingg. We arrived at the ispcc building and collected our bibs and our pins and badges. we were assigned places to go. Hannah and i got spar on merrion square road. after about an hour of selling a homeless lady asked us to move because it was her spot... we didnt want to get in trouble so we walked on down the road where we continued to sell.

The water charges protests were also happening in town so we were stuck right in the center of it. There were people everywhere screaming 'go away we wont pay'. It took us a while to get everyone on the bus and back home. I think everyone had fun joining in the water charges protest.
