Busy Week!

Im not going to lie I really loved how much class I missed last week.

Monday  17^th - I had most classes but I missed double IT at the end of the day.(explains my late blog) I didn’t just decide not to go to class, myself and aisling went around to each class room and took the numbers off the projectors and then I typed them all up for Mrs. Ward. We got really confused at one point at what number we had to take down but got them all in the end.
Tuesday 18^th -  I had double science in the morning and we started making soap but then ran out of time so after break myself and three other girls missed half the day to go to liffey valley with Mrs. Leonard to get clothes for the fashion show that’s is on the 25^th and 26^th . I say in total we spent about a half an hour in the shop and then we had 40 minutes to walk around the shops while Mrs. Leonard went to get other things for the show. When we got back to the school we had 10 minutes of Irish. (Longest 10 minutes of the day) Don’t get me wrong I loved missing class to go shopping but the best part of the day was after lunch when the whole year had the pleasure to go to carton house to see the vanishing art expedition. Well to be honest most of the year weren’t interested in the art after we heard that the Irish rugby team were in the grounds. That’s when the art went out the window and almost everyone started looking for them. Seeing them in the gym was pretty good but the best part of the day was when out of 86 girls in ty 9 of us meet Johnny sexton! Loads of the other girls got pictures with Tommy Bowe but that was after we got a photo with Johnny sexton and we were gone to do the work we were set when he was there.



Wednesday 19^th – as every Wednesday is I went off to work experience and had such a fun day like always. I never would have thought I’d like doing work experience in the primary as much as I do. The book fare was there for the week so after I did some cutting I went down and re-read the same frozen book allowed. (I think I can say it off at this point) surprisingly they didn’t get distracted like I thought (Well hoped) they all listened to the end. After that I had to draw and paint a picture of an elephant to stick up with their pictures but the one I painted was called Elmer and was all different colours because the story they were reading was about an elephant being left out because he was different but at the end he was accepted. I did so much other stuff but painting and going to the book fare were both by far the best things to do!
Thursday 20^th – I had most my classes on Thursday but I missed the last three because we had a road safety talk.  I learnt that Last year saw the first year-on-year increase in the number of road deaths in Ireland for the first time since 2005 when 190 people lost their lives compared to 162 in 2012. Do you wear are seatbelt? Well in 2008 it was recorded that 89% of adults in a car wear seatbelts and that sounds like a lot but that 11% is a lot of people and are more likely to be killed on the road. 12% of all car drivers killed in 2007 were not wearing seatbelts. The talk was three classes long but not once did the speaker lose my attention!
Friday 21^st – we had another talk but this time it was about the millennium goals. Our school is thinking about writing a book about raising awareness about achieving goal 6. After the talk we had a class to work on our mini-company products so we would be ready to sell at the fashion show.

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. Hope you liked reading about what I did last week and I apologize that this blog is late. - Miss.Galligan x
