November News

The month of November really flew by! All of us TY's had a lot of deadlines to comply with during November!

Geography Trip Around The World

We were assigned a geography project a little over a month ago, this project involved us planning a trip around the world for two people for a full year. We were put into pairs and each given a budget of €12,000 each to spend (A total of €24,00 between us). We had to visit six countries in total; 2 developed countries, 2 developing countries and 2 underdeveloped countries, and write about what we learned on our 'trip'. I was paired with Liz and we decided to visit Iceland, Poland, St.Lucia, Peru, Kenya and India.

English Mood Board 

We each made a mood board for our English class. On this 'Mood Board' we stuck on pictures or sayings that inspire us. We also stuck on things that explain who we are as a person and our different interests.

As you can see from my mood board above, I have pictures of One Direction, Taylor Swift, swimming, camogie and other things too!

Mini-Company 

Our mini-company idea has really come on a lot during November, we are planning to start taking orders for our product tomorrow. I really hope people will be interested in our product! We have everything orgainsed to start making our DIY Dye kits, we just need to figure out the packaging really!

We also had a mini-company meeting with Orla in Newbridge, we were told more about how to manage our company and learnt about different personality types. The meeting was in the Odeon cinema and afterwards we were aloud to have our lunch in the food court!

Junior Camogie

On Tuesday, I went to a camogie match near Santry! We were playing St.Dominic's school, this was the first time I played a Junior Camogie match this year. The bus journey took around a half an hour, when we arrived at the pitch we started warming up and got ready to play our match, I played as a forward! We unfortunately lost the match but it was a close game! The team had a good time out though, we all had a laugh on the bus! Hopefully we might be more lucky next time!
