About My Blog

Welcome to my blog! In my school (and many other schools in Ireland), fourth year - the year after our Junior Cert - is optional. It's a non-exam-based year but there's still plenty to do like projects in various subjects, work experience, competitions and trying out loads of new things! This year, a new idea was brought into TY; for each student to write a blog on their year...so this is my blog about my experience of TY. I started writing it in Spetember/October and it'll go up to the end of May when we get our Summer holidays and TY is over... If you're thinking of doing TY or if you just want to know more make sure you send me questions and I'll try my best to answer! Enjoy reading it!!

Catching Up..

OMG I havent written in ages...we've been sooo busy since work experience. Last week we went to a workshop in Carlow with Self Help Africa. We learnt loads about conflict, development and HIV/AIDS. It was really interesting and I learnt loads..we got to ask questions and it was so informative. We had a podcasting workshop on Friday. I'll try and upload the podcast we made (about Gillian McKeith) soon. We were taught how to record a podcast, edit it, add music and sound affects and then we listened to each others..they were very funny!! (and a little bit embarassing!! :D) Today myself, Ciara, Clara, Laura and Katie presented a project on the Berlin Blockade and the Cuban Missile Crisis to class Ash in 3rd year..it was really scary..I feel sorry for teachers having to talk in front of a class all day!!! Later this week we have our fashion show. We made dresses in home ec and one member of each group will model the dress..it should be really fun!! At the moment, Im busy trying to finish projects and other work. It was snowing today so we got off 10 minutes early!!!! Yay!! I'll post again later this week. :)
