☆ #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. 

                                                

So as you can see a lot has happened recently which explains for the very long blogpost lol ;)

✴ An update with a hint of my worst nightmare ✴

We haven't really been in school much this week due to work experience and the strike but we are still very busy... On Wednsday we had our last day of work experience for our first placement. I was working in ABsolutely FABulous flowers. http://www.abfabflowers.ie/ Which is a florist and giftware shop. I really enjoyed my time there it was so fun and great business with everything from hats to flowers to candles. I'm really looking forward to my next placement.

Today we had the annual prefect decommissioning service. As we are in Ty now I knew some of the new 5th year prefects who you used to my in my year so it was so strange seeing them wearing the prefect badge time flies so fast I still feel like I'm in first year sometimes. It's always funny hearing the stories of the prefect training night... I hope I get the role of prefect next year :) 

We also have a maths trip tomorrow (bad) and we will be gone for the whole school day (good). Although maths isn't really my thing well it's more like my enemy... But its more about team work tomorrow so I'm  looking forward to it as it will good fun out in the countryside and then of course the singing on the bus and we get to go to blanchardstown shopping centre for lunch so thats a plus right ;) 

I have also joined the Web committee at school Im looking forward to seeing the new website up and running :) Also we have been working on our plays in English and we have to perform them in front of the whole year on Tuesday so I'm very nervous :/ But hopefully it goes well...

❤Fashion Show❤

strut strut strut {Emma ;)}

This past week the Tys have been very busy... As St Wolstans was hosting a fashion show {2014 Fashion Extravaganza}  in Celbridge Manor Hotel! On Tuesday Some of us went down to Celbridge Manor with Mrs leonard to paint the stage.Gemma accidently jumped into a big bucket of black paint when getting down from the stage. I was right beside her and It was so funny especially when she had to wear a black plastic bag over her legs {sorry Gemma} But Mrs Leonards reaction was hilarious...

Then onto the actual fashion show I was playing guitar with some other girls for the Christmas Carol Act. We had to wear christmas jumpers so of course I wore my Rudolph jumper which lights up yes and plays music {slayyyy}  Michalea and I couldn't stop laughing on stage bt its grand becasue it was supposed to be happy and festive I guess ;) 

I was also Modeling for Emilys Michaelas Serenas and Emmas Mini Company Group 'Seem' (sneaky promotion in there) (thank me later) which is a jewellery company. We had to practice a lot as the routine kept getting changed but ah well. I didn't fall over so I'm happy! 

The mini group I'm in (Casevana) were selling as well and we did really well so that was good too ;) 

There were lots of other acts and entertainment as well like Irish dancing ballet debs and clothes From lots of different shops and of course the teachers dance {nice wigs :)} Over all the experience was realy fun as we were all putting are makeup on and laughing backstage.. them snapchats Michalea :P  

I will put some photos in later ;)

♕Fancy Unicorn ♕

This week we have been preparing for the fashion show which is next week in Celbridge manor. I am helping with the music for the show with lots of other girls. We will be doing a mash up of some well known christmas songs even though christams is NOT FOR AGES! 

We have been working on our mini companys really hard as well. My group Casevana will be selling and taking orders at the fashion show so make sure to check us out! (hehe free advertisement) Our Product is custom designed phone cases with unique accessories.

As well as that we went to Carton house last tuesday to look at some sculptures BUT the Irsh rugby team was there so of course they took our attention it was funny as were all waiting to get a picture with them but of course I didn't agh (SAD LIFE). Besides thast it was really cool to see the sculptures and to walk around the grounds and Sprint back to the bus dropping papers everywhere as I nearly missed the bus.. oops

We also had a road safety talk with the Guards so now I'm taking my unicorn to school as Im to scared to walk or get a car woop ;) But I suppose that means that the talk was beneficial...

                                         

                                               


On top of that weve been working on our play for a competition which Im really excited about as I love acting and we recently found out were working with an  organisation on a book promting The millennium development goals so we are very busy ;)

✴What does mid term, shoeboxes, a fashion show and Zombies all have in common??? ✴

This is the week before mid- term break. So as you can imagine everyone is dying for the week to end however, we have been very busy with lots of Projects. We have been working on our mini company as well.

 A representative from the organisation Team Hope came into our music class { when we were all awkwardly standing on the tiered stage } and told us about their shoe box christmas appeal. https://secure.teamhope.ie/csa  Lots of the Transition years are interested in the campain. If we want to give a shoe box we have to work on them over the midterm so they arrive in Africa in time for Christmas { which don't get me started on people already started their christmas countdown it's not even Halloween yet ;) }

Speaking of HALLOWEEN (oops the caps lock was left on) We are having a dress up day in school tomorrow our years theme is Zombies so I don't know what I'm going to wear yet. Most Monday mornings we look like Zombies anyway...

On top of all that St. Wolstans is hosting a fashion show in Celbridge Manor mid November. Lots of Tys and other years are getting involved with dancing instruments and singing. Auditions for the music for the show was held this week. We are learning how to play let it snow {another christmas reference :-/ } I hope everything goes well and I don't mess up the chords haha (throwback to 2nd yr music night) ;) 

This is what I found when I looked up a non scary zombie hah

>Btw the answer to the Title is I dont know ;)  xx
