Singing at the orchard.

Today some people from the school choir and some of the T.Y's went to the orchard to sing some Christmas carols to help raise money for focus Ireland. We were told about it about two weeks ago and the T.Y’s were asked if they would come and sing as well. I decided that I would go because it was for a good cause and it would be a bit of fun. It wasn’t for too long it was only from one until three and it was a bit of fun too. The choir was very small today and there was only a hand full of T.Ys but there was enough people to make a good sound so the people would be able to hear us. We were standing up stairs in the orchard at the front so that people were able to see. We also had a banner on the railing so that people knew who we were. Once we had managed to get the banner the right way round we started off singing. As the day went on the choir got bigger and bigger, some people came late and then some of the teachers came to sing with us as well. Some of the teachers also brought th

Religion Craft.

Today we had a religion craft class. We started making wall hangings for Christmas and advent. The class was divided into two different groups depending on what you wanted to do. For the advent wall hanging it is going to be made use fabric and for the Christmas wall hanging it is going to be made on canvas and different pictures painted onto it. We were show different wall hangings from other years and we were told that the standard was very high. We didn’t need to be told this as it was very clear from just looking at the wall hanging. Today was our first day doing it and everybody had brought in things that they thought might be useful. But we didn’t really start it today once we had split into our groups we then planned what we were going to put on each of them. I am working in the group that is making the wall hanging for advent and we are using different fabrics and things like that to make our wall hanging. It is really good fun and we all got a chance to say what we thought wou

Experiments.

In science today we were doing an experiment. The experiment was to do with find the PH of things and trying to make different colours with the chemicals that we had to use. MS O C said that it was a competition to see who could make all of the colours first. I and Jessica got off to a bit of a rocky start as we didn’t really understand what we were meant to be doing. But we figured it out pretty quickly well Jessica figured it out anyway. Once we knew what we were doing things would get better would you think so well they didn’t... First we couldn’t work the Pipette and when we got it to work the acid would only come out in drops so we decided to get a new one. But once again it would only let the liquid come out in slow small drops. But we decided that we wouldn’t bother to change it this time. So we were able to make the colour red because that only needed acid. Then once we had that colour done we started to work on a different colour. I thought
