Lá Glas

Last Friday we had our annual Lá Glas. Each Year gets a theme and you must dress accordingly. Our year were leprauchauns or fairies. I was a Fairy. Most people dressed up and everyone looked amazing. At lunch their was a parade where each class enters one person into. The Judges pick the best costume for each year.

Conflict

This week we had to do a powerpoint on an area of conflict. I was in a group of three and we did ours in the London Riots 2011. It was really interesting to learn that most of the rioters were from well off families. Someone made a song about it.The link is on the prezi. Here is how it turned out.

Gaisce - 29.11.12

The other day I have applied for Gaisce. In Gaisce you have to do 13 weeks of a physical skill, 13 weeks of a personal skill and 13 weeks of volunteering. You than pick one of them to do for an extra 13 weeks. At the end you do a 26 mile hike!
So for my physical skill I am doing camogie as I have gone up to the u16 team.
For my personal skill I am doing lifesaving as I am starting Rescue 1 my fourth exam.
For volunteer work I am going to do underage coaching for the younger camogie team.

Teddy?

Finally my teddy bear is starting to take shape, slowly but surely. I have finished making the arms, the legs, the body and the ears. All I have left to do is the head and to put all the limbs together and in no time I will have my teddy done. As soon as he is finished I will put up some photos to show you all how he went.

Here is what my teddy should look like in the end :/

Lollipop Day!

Last Friday was Lollipop Day. All of TY went into town. We were in groups of 4 and all groups were assigned an area. We all had buckets full of Lollipops and badges. They were €2 each. 

Around lunch time all the buskers started setting up. There was a wide variety of street performers. Everything from trumpets to leprauchans to Singers to Drum kits made from plastic containers. We had great fun. By the end of the day we couldn't feel out feet, it was so cold. All in all we had a blast.

Jabba Jabba Jembe!!

Shekere

A percussion workshop. Yesterday Dave came into our school and showed us the fine art of Jembe drums. He told some interesting facts about them. We all learned how to hit the drum to get various sounds. He than taught us some songs that we could play on them. Two girls were on base, six girls were on shekere.

He than showed uas how to use the asalato. I LOVED them.
