Briery Gap

Briery Gap Theater 

On Tuesday the 27th of January we went to the Briery Gap theater in Mullingar to preform our English plays. We left for Mullingar at 9;05 and arrived around 10;20, when we arrived we all began to get nervous. Our play is called Speak Up. We volunteered to go on second just so we could get it over and done with. My role in the play was to bring in the props, and to stand backstage and if anyone forgot their lines I had to shout them out for the audience to hear. 

After we preformed our play, we were allowed to go around Mullingar. We went to McDonalds, we then just went around a few shops. We then went back to watch a few plays from different schools. We all met back up at the theater for 3;00 and got the bus back to the school. I think our plays went really well, and I really enjoyed watching the other plays.

Zumba fitness

Zumba

This week for our PE we started Zumba fitness. When we went in Mr Lawlor introduced us to the instructor, Grainne. Then we started straight away. Zumba is a really fun way of getting fit. At Zumba you do lots of different dances. Grainne stood in the middle where everyone could see her, so that we could all copy her dances. There is also some very motivating music on that goes with all of the different dances. We also learned how to do some Spanish dancing with the Spanish songs, but it was also really good because she played lots of music that we knew and loved. This PE class was the best so far and I cant wait for next weeks class. We are doing Zumba in PE for four weeks.

Young Scientist

Young Scientist

This week was our first week back after Christmas holidays. On Wednesday we started our new work experience.
On Thursday all TY's and second years went to the BT Young Scientist in the RDS. Here we got to see all of the different projects to help give us get ideas for our projects for SciFest. Three girls from our school had a stall at the young scientist, Aimee, Eimear and Emily.Their project was to test the best conditions for learning. While we were there we went to see a show with two scientists who showed us what it was like to be a scientist. They told us about metals, and showed us how to make metal out of two liquids. They showed us how metals can change the colour of a flame. They also told us what the 'big bang' was. Also while we were there, the band hometown preformed a song, but there was so many people around that I could'nt see or hear them, so i left to look around the stalls some-more.
