Carlingford

Carlingford

Last week we went to Carlingford adventure center. I really enjoyed Carlingford! We learned how to team build and learn to depend on one another by doing group activities.

On Monday morning i woke at 6am to be at esso in Celbridge for 7am. When we arrived at esso there were two buses waiting to bring us to Carlingford. It took us around two hours to get there and when we arrived we got assigned our rooms. 

Later that day we did laser tag which i found most fun and was one of my favorites and after that we went for dinner and then we had time to relax and go to the sweet shop.

The next morning we woke to music playing on the intercom. We got up and went for breakfast, then we went rowing, this was also one of my favorites as we rowed over to the water trampoline and we jumped off it into the water. After this we had lunch and then walked up to our group bonding activity. 

Overall I really enjoyed Carlingford and i would definitely go back.

Digital Dossier

My Digital Dossier

Your digital Dossier is the same as saying your digital footprint or file. It is the information that has been linked to you since before you were born. The first entry into your digital dossier is an ultrasound, this when the mother sees her child for the first time. This ultrasound is then shared by email, text or any other media sites. The ultrasound is then copied into your hospital file. As you grow, the amount of items in your digital dossier grow too, and they keep growing past your life. Friends and family will also add to your digital dossier by taking pictures and videos and sharing them by text, facebook, emails etc. As you grow you share your own information about yourself and you are constantly adding to your digital dossier. On your social media sites, what you search on google or even when you walk passed a CCTV camera, literally everything you do adds to your digital dossier.

JC Results

Week Two:

This week was the week of our Junior Cert results. On Wednesday the 10th of September was the day we received our results. This was both a nerve wrecking and exciting day. 

We were told to be in  school by 11;50 in full school uniform. To be honest it only really hit me that we were getting our results as i stood in the hall hesitating to open my results. Overall i am pleased with my results. Wednesday night was the exciting part of the day when we all got to go out and celebrate our results. 

Also this week has been the week where we got assigned a lot of our project work. We really will have to put a lot of work into them as most of them go towards our Christmas results.

I am really looking forward to working as a group in TY and being assigned group projects as it will help us to listen to one another and to work as a team.

Week One of TY

Week One:

This week was our first full week of TY, on Wednesday we had our first workshops.

 For our first workshop we learned about first aid. Here we learned how to do the Heimlich remover, CPR, how to make a sling, and other basic first aid routines. 

We also learned how to have good etiquette in our second workshop, here we learned how to walk in high heels, what type of underwear is appropriate for certain clothing, and also we saw a presentation on a power point about body image and how everyone should see themselves as beautiful and unique.

 For our last workshop, we had a positive parties workshop, in this workshop we had to learn to be positive and how to make good things out of bad situations. We danced to songs and got time to relax in this workshop.
