Mini Compnay talk

This morning we had a talk on our mini companies. I really found it useful and enjoyed the whole experience Orla (the woman giving us the talk) really helped us and gave us some very good advice for our product which is bracelets.

English Drama

Through out the year we have been working on an English play. My groups play was based on the poem "but you didn't"by Meryll Glass. The poem is about a couple who are in love and the husband leaves for war in vietnam and never returns. In the poem the Wife is reflecting over some old memorys where she taught he would do something but didn't hence the name but you didn't. Our play was very like the poem, In our first scene she reflects over a time that she scratched his car and she taught he'd kill me but he didn't, Scene two was were they planned on going to a formal dance and meryl forgot to tell john it was a formal dance and he turned up in jeans she taught he'd hate her but he didn't, scene three she flirts with other men (ME) to make him jealous she taught he'd drop her but he didn't in the forth scene we decied that we should show their engagment but we twisted it, meryll decides to say no as a joke but she then worries he'd get angry but he didn't. Our last scene to the play was deffinaltly most emotional she says there were many things i wanted to tell you when you got back from vietnam .... BUT YOU DIDN'T! The day was definaltly sucsessful and our play went as planned with no mistakes. We all just hope and pray that we get through to the next round in Cork. Once we finished our play we headed out around the town in mulingar down to Mc. Donalds and were quickly back in time to watch the other schools which wre VERY good also.

Rugby tournament

Last Thursday we finally put our rugby skills to the test in the rugby tournament in Tallaght. The day was a great success with Wolstans team one coming out on top after winning all 5 of there matches we were delighted and we all really enjoyed the day. The day all started with a fun bus journey up singing along to all the classics. we done our warm ups and got ready to play our first match against St. Marks we won that match but it wasn't without a fight. During the breaks of our matches we cheered on the other Wolstan's team and had great fun. We all came home with a new back pack and a t-shirt.

Young scientist

Last Friday our TY's and 2nd years all headed off to the young scientist for a day out. The day was very enjoyable with lots of experiments that we were all able to take part in and as well so fun games, shows and talks. I got a talk on self help Africa and all about how we help them and also how our phone signal can be used to light up a hole circuit. I then took part in some fun games and a table quiz. Later on during the day there was a juggling show on which i found really good fun and had a great laugh. I got my finger prints taken and was shown how they were used in crime scenes.

Talk on recycling

 Today we had our first talk or the term. We had a speaker in from WEE Ireland who gave us a talk all about recycling. First he told us what happened when electrical appliances weren't recycled properly and that they can effect the water supplies under a landfill. Did you know that almost 50% of a washing machines weight is from a concrete block? He also showed us what happens to all are materials after we recycle them. Then we moved on to the topic of batteries and how they can be recycled. He told us that it is one of the least recycled things in there company. i enjoyed the talk and found it interesting.
