Christmas Carol Service.

It's a tradition in St.Wolstan's to have all the school come together for a morning for a carol service before the Christmas exam's begin. On Monday the 17th, we had our annual carol service. In the music department there has been a huge amount of effort gone into preparing for this occassion.
In choir we sang lot's of Christmas carols, in orchestra we also played some Christmas carols and in the Irish Traditional Group we played two polkas. The music certainly got everyone into the festive mood.
Mr.K also went through a lot of effort to organize this carol service and it was an absolute success like the years before too. Students from each year read and it was a nice opportunity for the whole school to get together.

My former year head, Mrs.Holmes gave out certificates to a few students for their Junior Certificate results. I was really surprised that I got one, it put a smile on my face! We had to stay behind to get our pictures taken by the Liffey Champion. The three girls who got 10 A's were also awarded. Well done to everybody. :)

Christmas Fun Day

Having fun is what us TY's do best, and we certainly had some craic last Thursday. Class Cairdeas kindly hosted a party for the TY's in the library in the morning. We all did Kris Kindle in our classes where we bought a small present for someone under a fiver. A girl in class Cairdeas dressed up as Santa and gave out the presents. There was smiles all round when everyone opened their gifts.
There was food, drinks and party music playing and everyone was having a great time. We all did the cha-cha slide! Then, at quarter to eleven there was two coaches outside to take us to bowling. In no time, we got to the bowling alley and we divided into groups. I am terrible at bowling, I must admit but I still enjoy it thoroughly and I had a brilliant time with my friends.
After bowling, we went to the Whitewater Shopping Centre. We had the opportunity to do anything we wanted for an hour. Typically, my friends and I headed straight to the food court and I got Ginzeng. Mm love  chinese food :)
Overall, I had a brilliant day and it got me into the festive mood :)

Fashion Show

Since September, we've spent six classes a week doing our Junk Kouture project. It was finally worth it as we had an opportunity yesterday to showcase all of our creations with a Fashion Show. A Third Year class, a Fifth Year class and all of TY's were there. Everyone was nervous, as there was Judges. After a while the nerves had went and everyone was having fun.

I decided to go crazy and dance whilst modelling my outfit. No one was expecting me to dance to it was nice to see all the smiles on their faces. It was great fun and I was glad after it. Today we found out that Ruth and I had came first place in our class. We're delighted, our hard work paid off! Everyone in the class had completely different outfits, they were all original and everyone did an amazing job and should be so proud. Here are some pictures from the eventful Fashion Show :)

Trying to Meet Deadlines

From September onwards, we've been working on the two main projects in T.Y. "Junk Kouture" and "Mini Company". Last class, in Home Ec. was our deadline for Junk Kouture. We've all put in a huge amount of effort for this project so the result was brilliant for everyone. In my group, Ruth and I are making a dress out of crisp packets and it's turning out really well. We're all delighted and we hope our hard work pays off in the competition and fashion show.
In Mini Company, we're doing a Shakespearean dictionary. We have so much work to do and we need to have it ready this evening to print. Lots of work to be done! :)
