Trip to Naas.

Last Monday all the TY students headed to Nass where we had a mini company workshop. This was a very worthwhile day overall. During the day we made our groups that we were going to do our mini company project in. We also had to come up 50 ideas that we could use as our mini company project. During the day we learned a lot about the mini company competition itself. We learned about how the judges mark the projects. We were also shown videos of past years and some of the mini companies that one the competition, this was a great help because it allowed us to see what the judges would expect form us and what the atmosphere is like at the final stages of the competition. During the day we learned about the mini company competition and we also got to hear lost of ideas from other people that we could all use ideas. At the end of the workshop we were then allowed to go to mc Donald’s until the bus came. It was a good day overall and everybody learned a lot and enjoyed themselves. Siobh

Social Development Day.

T.Y.'s going great so far, everybodys starting to make new friends and everybody is getting on well with each other. All ready we have done lots of fun things in class and outside of class. On Monday the 5th of September we had social development day which was a very worthwhile day. This day was spent in the library getting to know our fellow classmates and ourselves a little more. This was a great day and helped everybody to get to know each other better. Our next activity was going to Carlingford Co. Louth on the 13th and 14th of September. This was a two day trip that was aimed at developing team building and good communication. Yesterday all the T.Ys got their junior cert result. All the teachers were really nice to us and gave us an easy day where we did not have to do too much work. We started to watch the green mile in Spanish class and it seemed like a good film but we didn’t get too far into the film before the bell went for break. We also started to learn to Play tag
