Halloween Dress up

Halloween Dress up:

This week we didn't have any trips, but today we have our Halloween dress up as it is the last day of school before midterm. Each year has a different theme, the TY theme is zombies. Not everyone dressed up, but the people who did look really like zombies. I think that the zombie theme was a really good theme as it is easy to dress up as. 
Also today in our french class our teacher is bringing in french food for us to try so hopefully we will be watching a french movie too. I cant wait to try some of the french foods that she brings in.

World mental health day

World mental health awareness day
World Mental Health Day is celebrated worldwide on the 10th of October. It is an opportunity to bring awareness to mental health on an international, national and local scale, informing and educating people about mental health and to work towards creating a non-judgmental space for people struggling with their mental health to open up and talk.
To raise awareness for world mental health day in our school, we all get to wear in our own shoes, whatever you want, such as slippers, uggs, and even sandals. Each person who does wear their own shoes into school have to bring in two euro each, which then goes towards the walk in my shoes charity. The charity provides mental health services to vulnerable young adults who might not be able to afford the help they need. It also encourages young adults to get the help they need, and to help them understand that people are there for them.

Fun Walk

Fun Walk

This week we had our school fun walk. For our fun walk we choreographed a dance that had to be linked with friendship week and anti bullying. All TY classes had to wear yellow. Because our class is Ariel we decided to base our friendship story on The Little Mermaid movie. Our tutor Mr Lawless dressed as a shark, Sarah dressed as Ariel and the rest of us were flounders. The main story line to our dance was that the flounders and Ariel were scared of the shark but then they finally listen to him when he says that he just wants to be friends. At the end they are all dancing together to show that they have become friends.
After everyone did their dance we had to go on our walk. TY classes were traffic coordinators for our walk. 
Overall I thought our fun walk was very good and positive.
