☆ #Idon'twannagrowup ☆

This week we had a very big task ahead of us...We had the Briery Gap drama competition on Tuesday in Mullingar. We had been preparing for a few months now and we had all wrote our own scripts. In my class four groups competed. My groups play was called schizophrenia we did this play to rasie awareness about mental health. I played one of the lead charachters Lucy, who is a symtom of the psychosis.
We arrived in Mullingar after 10 o' clcok we were the first school there so, we competed early. My group was the third group on but I was happy about that as I didn't want to be first or last.  
Before the play I was very nervous about my lines but I was fine once I was on stage I love drama so I enjoyed the experience! The feedback from the judge overall was good and I think we did well and I'm looking forward to getting the results.

                                            

As we had competed early we spent the rest of the day going around Mullingar and watching the other plays. Michaela, Emma and I went to McDonalds and got very excited while spinning on the big chairs. Then we went to the most amazing toy shop ever (haha) and tried on all the mask and spun around on the scooters #Idontwannagrowup haha {only Michalea will understand this ;) } then we tried to find a playground but it started to rain so we went back to the theatre and watched two other plays.  

We then got on a bus and went home. It was a really fun day!

A VERY long blogpost........... including elves, zumba scientists and plays ;)

It has been awhile since we have been able to blog as this is our second week back since the christmas holidays and SO MUCH has happened!

Before the Christmas holidays we went to see  Elf :The Musical in the Bord Gáis Theatre http://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/. Michaela and I were singing the whole way through we very excited! The sets were AMAZING and the acting was soo good. As a year group I think we all really enjoyed it and it was a really nice treat! I love theatre and I take part in it outside school so I really enjoyed it and Michaela loves everything musical so it was funny to see her reactions. I also enjoyed eating Emmas doritos on the way back ;)

More recently we went to the BT Young scientist in the RDS. Every year the second years and the Tys go. I really enjoyed the last time I was there so I was excited. Also one of my best friends Emily was competing with Aimee Finegan and Eimear Delaney. Their project was on the idea conditions for learning and they got a highly commened Badge. Also Ryan Tubridy was there and I got a selfie with him to I was very happy with myself. It was hard though Michalea Emma ansd I had to like chase after him because everyone was pushing and screaming ....Irish girls are such fangirls ;) There was also a really cool 3D movie in the theatre part of the exhibition and they gave you these big yellow 3D glasses!  I like going around and talking to new people about their projects etc.  Overall the day was really fun but alos tiring 
                                     


We had a Zumba workshop today which was soo fun. We had to dance to loads of  music from different cultures and countries around the world. Everyone was gettting really into it and lauging a lot. It was a really fun experience and I'm excited to do some more zumba workshops.

                                                               


We are also VERY busy!  We had a mini company workshop last week and we are working on getting our companies together for the competition and selling our phone cases. Make sure to check us out online we have a twitter @Casevana and a facebook 'Casevana' 


We also have a theatre competition in Mullingar in a week and half. We have been working on our plays very hard. Our play is called schizophrenia and I hope we do well we're really nervous so wish us luck ;) Also Scifest is coming up soon so we are working on our projects really hard. I'm doing my project with Clara and we're testing if different types of food effect your reaction times.
