✴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

✴ Funky Shoes? ✴

Last Friday was a non uniform day! This is because St Wolstans were taking part in the 'Walk in our shoes' charity.   http://www.walkinmyshoes.ie/ 

This is a charity about mental heath illness. The charity was estblished by St. Patricks Mental Health Service which is Irelands( largest independent not-for profit mental health service provider).  The idea is about by trying to put yourself in some elses shoes -' walk in your shoes'

We all came in to school in our own shoes and there were some funny slippers and wellingtons
and we strutted down the hallways. I think that was just me ;) anyway everyone was a great a great sport and everyone brought in 2euro and raised some money for the charity!

   

  

Fun Walk :)

On  Thursday the 2nd of October St. Wolstans had their annual Fun Walk. 

Every year has a different colour and every class has to perform a dance in front of the school. 

The fun walk is centred around friendship week so your theme of the dance should link to friendship or/anti bullying. Transition year was yellow so we all looked like lemons!

My class being called 'Aurora' we decided to go with the dance based around the story of sleeping beauty/Maleficant. This resulted in our tutor Mr. Kennedy Dressing up as Maleficant!

We were all faries either good or bad and we centred the dance around the faries becoming friends. We danced to wake me up by Wham and of course us being the best class in Ty we won ;) Overall the fun walk was really fun as we got to watch the other dances and turn into Simon Cowell as we judged the dances. 

Then it was time for the actual walk.... My friend Emily and I played air guitar and acted weird throughout the entire walk. By the time we got backed to the school we were very thirsty and tired and it was time to WALK home AGAIN! It was a really good day and I'm looking forward to next years fun walk so we can renew our victory! :)
