ZUMBA!!!

 Over the past few weeks on a Friday we've had zumba! at first I was nervous because I've never done it before, i have done water zumba but this was rather different... A lady called Grainne came into to instruct us. The spanish music is really catchy though and i am pretty tired afterwards. I think i might look into joining a local zumba class to help keep me fit!

This is an example of what we've done :)

Friendship Week

Jump On It...

The day had finally arrived, hours of practice had been put in too win the prize, this is what it involve to be the lucky class. Every year our school hosts a fun walk at the end of friend ship week to promote the anti bullying campaign. Within our class we have to create a dance the promotes bullying. There was ups and downs as expected but we pulled through in the end. Each year group is given a colour to dress in and TY's were yellow. This presented a challenge to us as there aren't many yellow characters out there. But we ended up picking Taxi's.

Our dance consisted of my friend Jayne and I dressing up as Carlton and Will from Fresh Prince.

We had to get picked up by a taxi and then we danced to Carltons theme song of "It's not unusual to be loved by anyone" and "Jump On It". It was great fun. We had to preform to our highest standards in front of the four judges and impress them to hopefully be awarded the sacred prize, a box of sweets. After everyone has preformed we embark on a walk of the area. Jayne and I volunteered to help at the crossings. It's always a blast ! 

When we returned to school after the weekend we sat anxiously in the classrooms awaiting the results of the competition. But unfortunately we did not succeed  :'(. But Congrats to the class that won :).

The Week Of Transition

Carlingford

Monday and Tuesday were the most adventurous days in of my life in a long time. From swimming in the ocean to a blindfolded walk in the dark it was the time of our lives. We arrived around 10 and got suited up for laser tag which involved wearing a camo jumpsuit. We each got a laser gun deciding whether we were on the red or the blue team. The Red team was the best as it won 3/4 matches. 

Later that evening we took part in the crystal maze. We had to complete different tasks like crawling through a spiders web and a low ropes course. 

Lights out was at 11 but the 7 of us stayed up late talking bout the amazing experience. There was no sleeping in the next day even though  I overslept a bit needless to say i was woken up with a pillow to the face by Jayne...We started of Tuesday with a series of different activities such as communication breakdown, archery and body zorbing. I found my hidden talent in archery hitting the bulls eye each time. Body zorbing was my favorite out of all the activities. We had a zorbing ball around our upper bodies and held it like a backpack on our shoulders. Then we spent our time running into each other. We even had a tournament of who could knock whom over first.

Later that evening we went kayaking in the ocean, it was freezing but worth while. I ended getting thrown off the water trampoline by one of the instructors and added 24 hours to my life by sticking my head under a magical fountain.All in all it was an amazing trip.

The Results

After 3 years of hard work the day had finally come, The Results .  I was so nervous before the big day. We had to get into lines within our classes in alphabetical order and of course i was last. But all in all i was happy with my results :D. 

  

But the most fun was the night out after. There was 16 of us in total going to time in Naas. It was great fun before getting ready and stuff and the disco itself obviously.
