Calling all scientists, Calling all scientists!!!!

HEY HEY HEY !! the date is January 7th 2016 !!!!! AHHH HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!! Our first official day back at st wolstans. The TYs are joining with the second years to take a trip to THE BT YOUNG SCIENTIST EXHIBITION in the RDS. We left ealry in the morning around 9:15 and we all boarded onto the bus. We soon arrived and we were frozen. We received our tickets/ wristbands and scurried as quick as we could inside. SCIENCE SCIENCE EVERYWHERE. We went straight to the science and technology zone where we explored different sections and and observed different projects. That's mainly how the day went. Exploring the centre and observing projects. There was the always great dance piano which my friend and i challenged ourselves with, there was the 3d section, the funny photos booth, the mind tricks, the technology zone, the gaeltacht booths and many more. We also went to visit our good friends science projects as they were part of the exhibition. We are very proud of them. It was a great day with my friends and i really enjoyed it :)

A secret surprise, Lets hit the ice !!!

HEY HEY HEY !! The date is 21st of December and the TY's are heading out for one final surprise of the year. Alongside their teachers, Mrs Leonard and Mrs McMahon, TY's class Merkel and Lagarde are about to hit the shops and skate like the ballerinas they were born to be. We arrived at the school at 9:05am for roll call and soon after we all hopped on the bus. The excitement  was real as we were all singing and laughing on the way to Blancherstown shopping centre. We arrived at around a quarter to eleven as the traffic was bad and we straight away hit the shops. My friends and I spent alot of time shopping and window shopping, I bought some lovely new clothes and my new favourite cream scarf. We had a lovely lunch in KFC and soon enough it was one a clock. We all met up outside dunnes stores and soon we were walking together to the large lovely ice rink across the road. We arrived inside to find that we would have the ice rink to ourselves which made us very excited. We put on our skates and we were so eager to get onto the ice that we all raced to it.I love ice skating, I absolutely love it so I was really excited about today. A few of my friends had never been ice skating before so I was teaching them how to keep their balance and how to skate but sometimes I was a little too fast and they went slipping and sliding all over the place. An hour passed, as if every time i skated a full circle a minute passed. I was the time keeper. I managed not to fall which I was quite proud of. Once we were finished, we all grabbed our stuff, packed our skates and away we went to the bus. It was a fabulous day and I'd love to go again :)

Merekel meets Mary Poppins, A practically perfect performance

HEY HEY HEY !! The date is December 16th and the TYs are heading to a
Practically perfect performance. Mary Poppins, the one and only. We all arrived in school at around 10 am for the Christmas carol service. after a lovely service we all headed for the bus. on the bus we shared some songs especially some Disney and soon enough we arrived to the Board Gas theatre. We had an hour to explore the grounds so many of us went to nearby shops to buy a quick snack. Afterwards we went inside and found our excellent seats. Soon we were surrounded by the beautiful voices of the cast. the opening number was amazing and it set the Ecstatic atmosphere. Singing, Dancing, and the costumes it  was all so fantastic. the first half was filled with many beautiful songs and dances. And the second half certainly didn't disappoint with Bart 'stepping in time' upon the walls and the one and only Mary Poppins paying us a quick visit in the audience. An outstanding performance and a lovely memorable day with my fellow TY Peers.
