Briery Gap

Tomorrow all of the TY classes will be taking a trip to the Mullingar Arts Centre for the Briery Gap Drama Competition! Each class has a certain number of groups who have been planning, writing and rehearsing  an original drama since September.

The drama process has been reallly interesting as we have all learned how to write a script, perform as different characters and also how to use lighting and music to really set the mood of each scene!

I'm a little nervous about getting up and acting infront of an audience, but at the same time I am really looking forward to the experience!

I really hope one of the dramas from our school will get through to the final in Cork in the coming months!

Somewhere I'd love to visit!

As part of the January blog challenge, we are required to write about a place we would like to visit when we leave school. There is one place I have always wanted to visit and that is Austria!

I want to go to Austria for many reasons, but most of all, to ski! I have always wanted to go skiing because I love cold weather and snow. I think the idea of skiing is so nice and it seems like so much fun! The warm and cosy log cabins accompanied by hot chocolate and a roaring fire appeal to me like nothing else. The ski resort I really want to go to is called St Anton am Arlberg and is located in Tyrol. It is quite a famous resort.

I would also love to see places like Schonbrunn Palace, Hallstatt, Grossglockner Alpine Road and Innsbruck Altstadt.

I hope that someday I will get the opportunity to go to Austria on a ski/sight seeing holiday! It would be an amazing experience that I would never forget!

Exciting Blog Challenge: Oscars 2015

Our I.T. teacher has just set us a challenge of blogging about one of the Oscar nominated films this year. The challenge is to view one of the films and to write a review of it afterwards on our blog!

There are so many great films that have been nominated, I don't know how I'll choose one to see. Look out for the review coming on my blog soon as it may help you decide what to go and see in the cinema next!

January Blog Challenge!

The January blog challenge requires us to write a post about something we have done to help the environment and also to write a post about our community and school.

I help the environment by walking to places instead of driving (if I can) and also by recycling and composting things like paper, plastic wrappers and fruit/vegetable peelings. It is so important to look after the environment and recycle so that we can have a healthy life on a healthy planet!

Now about my school and community. Obviously, I go to St. Wolstan's and I am a member of the TY community at the school. We are a close community and we all get on very well with each other!

The community of our entire school together is also very close, after all, it is a COMMUNITY school! We all share a common interest, that being the enjoyment of coming into school to see our friends every day! The St. Wolstan's community is a community that I love being a part of and I hope future students will too!

Back to school blues

It's the first day back after the Christmas holidays! I can safely say that it was a long, hard day and nobody wanted to get up this morning, but it had to be done!

The holidays were really relaxing and I had a really great time. I spent time with family and friends and it was very enjoyable. Everyone had a great time and got lots of presents and ate lots of chocolate!

I went to see Peter Pan in the Gaiety last week and it was absolutely brilliant! The actors were amazing and it was really funny!

Overall, my holidays were quite relaxed and calm. I hope all of you had a lovely 2 weeks off also!
