Christmas is coming :D

Next week is our last week at school before we get off for Christmas hols!! :D I can't wait! Not only is Christmas in less than 10 days, but my birthday's coming up too , I better get started on buying Christmas presents though :L
We had a Carrolling service in school today, and myself and all the other t.y. girls are all in the choir :) We did lots of practice all week and the service went really well :) We sang loads of my favorite Christmas songs like 'Feed the world' and some girls in the class played the jambaya and did percussion so it sounded nice :) It definitely got me in the Christmas mood :L

Fashion Show

So last Friday we finaly had our home ec. fashion show! Unfortunately I actually missed it :( But I heard that it was great and the girls all had fun! Some people won prizes for their outfits and presentations, and they took plenty of pictures so at least I got to see the designs :)
Here's a picture of all the girls

Back to school :)

So today was our first day back at school after our snow days :) It was still freezing outside and the snow has pretty much turned to crushed ice which is not good for me since I forgot my coat :L Going back after 6 days off was a little weird at first but I definitely had a lot to catch up with. I did my geography project today finaly :L I was a bit nervous but it went ok, much faster than I had thought :L Of course I had so many things I wanted to say about my trip but when I got up there I forgot so many, but it was good practice at presenting :)
I think the fashion show might be this Friday so we have to finish our story board in time, and not to mention start the history project! So many things to do :L

Snow Days

These last few days it has been snowing non stop! :D Which I think is pretty great because I love the snow :) Although it's unbelievably cold, it's nice because it really makes you feel like Christmas is here. It's supposed to be the coldest November we've had in Ireland in recorded history :O And as an added bonus there's no school because the roads are too dangerous, which I'm bot complaining about because I have a great sleep in in the morning and time to make a snowman :D

Podcasting workshop

Last Friday we had a podcasting workshop in school. I never even knew what a podcast was until then :L It's a sound file that can be downloaded and sent to people. Two guys came into the school with a lot of computers and sound equipment and we were divided into groups to come up with our own podcast! It was a bit difficult to think of things at first but in the end we all came up with an idea. Some were a bit mad, but they were definitely original :L Our group did an ad for our own Irish takeaway ;Paddy's Potatoes' , and we had great fun recording the country Irish accents! :)
In the end we heard everyones podcasts and they were very funny. Unfortunately we didn't have time to Bluetooth them to our phones or I would've posted it on blogger!

Poll

All the projects :/

One thing you can expect a lot of in T.Y. is projects :L I think we almost have a project in every subject except maths! We're almost finished our geography project now, we'll be giving our presentations next week, and we submitted our proposal for the formula 1 technology project so that's a bit of a weight of my shoulders. One of the hardest projects this year is definitely mini company, it takes up a lot of time and so far we still haven't got a manufacturer :S but this week a woman is coming in to talk to us about manufacturers so hopefully that will help. I guess the best thing to do is keep on top of them, 'cos there's more to come! :L
