Welcome Back.

Welcome back everybody !
If you`re looking at the screen going "Wish I was back in bed right now instead of being in school" I totally agree with you ;).

It`s the second day back at school and already I`m exhausted, I`ve had my tests back and I`m altogether happy with my results which means I can read Fan-fiction in peace (hehehehehehehe), I`m making a denim teddy bear in home Ec which (fingers crossed) will turn out ok and also cooking with my partner in Home Ec  making Scones.

JUNK KOUTURE IS OVER !!!!


After what felt like a year our fashion show has finally arrived, It was the day that we show off all the hard work we have been doing over the last thirteen weeks.
Me and my partner Hasana. B. Hare decided to make our dress out of bottle caps and rings off of cans and make a short at the front long at the back dress that was made out of a ripped recyclable parachute that was given to us by one of Hasana`s mums friend.
We spent most of our Art, Home Ec and  T.y Art Design firstly hammering nails into the bottle caps, painting the bottle caps and then sowing them onto the dress, I can honestly say I`m glad it`s done because it was so mind numbingly annoying having to day in day out just sow these bottle caps onto the parachute.
So the day of the fashion show came, we were all nervous but excited, there was a mad rush to get all the make up hair and accessories on and to give the older students our assigned song that we wanted to play when walking down the wakway.
All in all it was a fun day and I was very happy with our dress.

Merry Christamas and a Happy New Year. xxx

MINI COMPANY TALK..... I THINK NOT. 

Well off we went to our  mini company talk in the Odom Cinema, we were all, as always, excited to go and learn things to improve our company. 

When we arrived we all piled into the theatre and waited for our teacher to come in, after at least half an hour we were told that unfortunately Orla was sick and that we wouldn't be having a  talk. 

Lol the cheer that came out of the three schools that had come, we were so involuntarily happy we forgot to hope that Orla was ok, just before we were quite enough to think about Orla an associate of hers told us we were going to watch SKYFALL. 

IT WAS TOTALLY AMAZING. 

I have decided to do a video blog about the fun walk instead of always typing :)

Enjoy !


 

               Kayaking 

Our first activity of the day was going out Kayaking, we were all VERY excited but quite nervous about getting into the cold water.

Our instructor Erin showed us where we had to get our wet suit, how to put it on right and where we could go to change.

After getting changed we came out and was given life jackets and paddles and told how to use them and (with the life jackets) which way was the right/safe way to put them on.

We then was brought down to the sea side and told which part of the kayak was the front and back and how to shimmy ourself into the sea. 

After a while of, going the wrong way, falling in (me) and getting completely soaked by your trainer (again me) we finally got to an old tunnel where we were told there was a waterfall in which if you stay under the water for 10 seconds you would have an extra day of life :D.

When we finished this we kayaked back to shore and we played two games!!!
1. Colours- we were given two colours and when the instructor (Erin) said our colour we had to (while linked with another 2 girls) lie back and kick our legs splashing everyone else.
2. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes- we had to sing the song and every time Erin said toes we had to duck our head into the water- it didn't go down very well :D.

A cheer went up when we were told we were going pier jumping. It was AMAZING fun and a little bit nerve racking but all in all we enjoyed that activity and looked forward to lunch :3 

             CARLINGFORD 

Carlingford.... just saying the name brings back so many good memories :D.

 We started off our adventure to Carlingford at 7am standing freezing ourself to death waiting for the buses to come take us there, it was a 2hr bus ride and yet it only felt like minutes because everyone was singing talking and just enjoying themselves.

A big cheer went up when we finally arrived at Carlingford and we got off the bus feeling excited and anticipating what activities we are going to do  

St Wolstan's TY: If I had a boat.......

St Wolstan's TY: If I had a boat.......: .....I'd go out on the water! TY's go kayaking at Carlingford.

Man I`m soo embarrassing at the end :D
