All of a Sudden It was Time for those Goodbye

Monday 25th of May marked the end of transition year for 86 young girls in St. Wolstans. All excited for our summer holidays we left the hall at about half 9 with so many memories thinking how could one year go so quickly. I wont lie and say the whole year was an amazing and full of opportunity and joy because I hated it at times and that's the cold hard truth. Most things were so pointless it drove me insane. But don't get me wrong i did love it at the same time. The trips were fun and the way we did things was so different. I think im trying to say sometimes i felt it wasn't for me. TY definitely had its ups and downs. I don't think i would of been ready for 5th year last and i still don't think i am ready yet but i feel a bit more confident now after a year away from solid work. All the work in 5th year is going to be hard but if ty thought me anything it was i don't like no routine. It showed me how quick a year can go, how i can’t cut in a straight line and how much i really despise doing work that i don’t benefit from and has no real purpose . 

Monday night was TY night. Ty night is held in the school hall and all tys show off what they did this year to our families. We started the night all squeezed onto the coral risers singing wave your flag and never forget and then we took our seats and let the night begin. People from each of the three class, Ariel,Bell and Aurora, stood up and talked about trips we've gone on, the charity work we've done and what we've done in classes. Once all the speeches were done everyone who did gaisce was presented with their certs and medals. All that work finally paid off! The wasnt over yet! All that was left was the awards. Mrs. Lenoard called out each name and presented everyone with our awards (this didn't take as long as you'd think) After the awards were handed out a few girls in the year said thanks to Mrs. Lenoard on behalf of the whole year group and gave her a gift. Her reaction was priceless and it made us all smile. It all ended with a slide show done my Ellen and Eve. I don't think any of us realized how good the year was until we heard about everything and saw all the pictures.

The learning part of the year was over (I say learning very loosely) but the trips weren't quiet finished . On tuesday all TYs returned at 9.05 just wishing for summer to hurry up and to tear down all the posters and art work that covered every section of the hall for the displays for ty night. We pulled them off the walls in seconds and some were taken home but most of them got thrown into the big recycling bin. Once we could finally see the boring yellow walls of the hall all of us sat up on the coral risers for one last group photo and smiled as year group for one last time. At ten we set off down the road for our last TY outing to base. We did bowling and I have no shame in saying i lost miserably ... it really isn't my strong point. At about half 11 we got chicken nuggets, sausages and chips and then a piece of the cake that was displayed on TY Night. At half 12 it was our summer holidays and then Ariel,bell and aurora were no more.


The first thing Mrs. Lenoard said to us was that she wanted this year to be like no other and in hope that this would happen she named our classes after the princess so we could all have magical experience and have a year like no other.

To all Future Tys ill leave you with what mrs.lenoard said to us about how one can react to the year. She told us TY was a jug of water and each person is either a rock, sponge or spoon of sugar. The rock will get nothing from the water it will just sink and get or give nothing , the sponge will take as much as it can but never gives anything back and the sugar will dissolve and take to the water as much as it can and givie a sweet perfect smell and taste to the water and all around.

Im just a teenage girl who hates the thought of growing up but im doing it with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. I hope you liked reading about what i thought about TY experience, TY night and our last trip - Miss.Galligan! x

TY 2014/2015 was a year for the princess to find themselves
