Ty week 8

This week all of the Tys went to Naas for out second mini-company workshops. This time we looked at our products and how we would go about advertising them. We found that sometimes advertising can be a big waste of money, so she tols us what not to do and gave us examples of wasting money on advertising. It was very helpful to know as hopefully it'll save us money when it comes to our mini-companies.

We also had a woman come in to us from Achord this week to talk to us about "relationships". The woman that came into us was called Margaret and she was very nice. The teachers were supposed to be in the room with us but she asked if they didn't, and I'm happy she did. We all agree that if teachers were there we wouldn't have opened up as much as we did. I found it very informative yet enjoyable :)

Ty week 7

This week we had people out of  "Colour me beautiful" come speak to us and tell us about what style pesonalities we are, what colour type we are and what clother suit different body shapes.
I was selected as a light along with two other girls out of my class. I was very happy with my colour type as the colours I was told suited me where some of my favourite colours. I was the model for the lights, by this I mean that they put the different colour pallets of different colour types. They did this with one person out of each group. I was amazed to see how the different shades actually did suit different perople and how they can make you look really well, or just completely wash you out.
We took a quiz and I was found to be a casual style personality. I think that this would sum me up very well so it was kind of weird to see how much they knew about you without having met you at all.
All in all this experience was hugely helpful and informative and it made for a great week, I just wish it had been longer :)

Ty week Six:

This week started off with our first camogie match of the year on Monday. It was against school Lorretto from Crumlin. They were quite an aggressive side but we gave them a good fight. In the second half my science class came out to cheer us on, they were great :) We had a fabulous victory in the end with a final score of something like  6:6 to 1:2.


We also learned how to do hand massages this week in pastoral care. We mixed sweet almond oil with some lemongrass and light a lavender ans rose candle. None of us really thought anything of it, we didn't see how it would work but in the end it did actually get us all pretty chilled out, I wish we could have stayed there fror longer haha.


We had double P.E this week too. We continued on with our tag rugby thing we did before. I didn't personally notice anything different but Mr. Lawlor said he saw a huge improvement in all of us since the first week so it must be really working.

Geography Project

For my geography project I have to imagine I will be going on a round the world trip. We have to visit first second and third world countries. A second world country I would be interested in visiting is China. I want to visit China because it has a well known culture arou nd the world and many famous builds such as the great wall of china. Did you know? Ice cream was first invented in China :)

Ty Week Five

Ty week five: This week started off well, we came in and as hoped, it was announced that class amina had won the prize for the Ty fun run. It was great! I’d say Mr. L was disgusted after all of his bragging but I was chuffed. We got two boxes of chocolates to share between us for winning, they were delicious. We had our first singing music class too, it was Hillarious!! We did harmonies to an African chant “Bonawa bonawa bona-wayo” Everyone thought it was gas with the chants and the voice warm up excersizes but at the same time we all enjoyed it. My mini-company group finalised our idea for our company too, we’re going to be buying watch faces and making bracelet like watches with beads and ribbon. So that’s pretty exciting anyway. I also got my junior cert home-ec craft project back. I love my cushion it has a little duck on it it’s so cute  I can’t wait to bring it home, put it on my bed and show everyone haha. I joined soccer in the school this week too, I started it on Wednesday Mr. Corcran wasn’t there, only Mr. Seery but it was pretty good I think I’ll stick with it anyway. I started back at camogie in the school too, it’s good but I have Celbridge training on Thursdays too so I’m pretty wrecked afterwards. So it’s been another good week in ty overall .
