Ah the sun :D

Hey :D

The weather in Ireland has been AMAZING this past week! Everyone is out in shorts and all! (in case you didn't know that's strange for Ireland.)

Anyway getting to my story..
My class Banba organised the 1st year sports day yesterday :D It was so much fun! And it was great because of the weather :D I was in charge of taking down the results of each game, the games were:
  • Long Jump
  • Sprints
  • Javelin
  • Hurdles
  • 600m Race
  • Relay
  • Triple Jump
  • High Jump
  • Discuss
  • Shot Put
Each Class from first year chose 4 people to do each game. The classes were Sapphire, Pearl, Amber, Ruby and Emerald. I was in charge of taking down Sapphire's points. The points went like this:
  • 1st place - 6 points
  • 2nd place - 5 points
  • 3rd place - 4 points
  • 4th place - 3 points
  • 5th place - 2 points
  • 6th place - 1 point
If someone from Sapphire came in either one of these places I would write down the amount of points they got in that game. At the end we added up all the points from each game and came out with the winning class which was class Pearl.

It was a really great day in the sun!

I love TY :D

Braveforce :)

Hey :D

Yesterday my year went to an assault course! It was amazing but incredibly cold and tyring :S it was a race. There was 2 other schools, one was a boys school the other was a girls school but there was only a few people from each school there. Apparently the other schools had trained for it so we were all kind of scared :O when the race started i was tyred in the first few minutes. It was an obstacle course. The water was freezing, if you went in too fast you could get shock. It was horrible but so fun :D

I love TY

Animals, animals, animals!

Hey :D


My year was on work experience last week! I went to the DSPCA which is the Dublin Society of Provention of Cruelty to Animals. It was such a great experience! I loved it. On Monday and Tuesday I was in the Treatment Kennels which is were all the sick dogs are, I had to clean kennels, walk dogs, feed dogs and play with them! It was here that I fell in love with a dog called Uisce (pronounced ish-ca) which is the Irish word for water. I think she was called this because her eyes were blue! I loved her to pieces but on Monday evening she got moved to the rehoming kennels which is were the dogs go when they are healthy and up for adoption.


On Wednesday and Thursday I was moved to rehoming, I got to see Uisce again! I had to do the exact same thing here but the cleaning was more thorough because the public came in here to see dogs.


On my very last day 2 families came in to look at Uisce, I had to take her out of her kennel and show her to the families. It was very upsetting but I knew that she would be going to a happy home.


I made loads of new friends because there was 8 other people on work experience there with me. They were all so lovely! I had a great time and I really think I'm going to volunteer in the summer :D


I love TY :D
