Lessons Learned!


Hello! :D





   I have a good bit of news to write about, enjoy!

   Last Friday, my year and I set off on an adventure to Newbridge. This trip was organised a few weeks ago, for our mini-company project. I took a half an hour to get there, and I sat on the bus with Elaine. We were allowed listen to music on the way, which brightened up all our spirits!

   As soon as we arrived, we all squeezed in to the Odeon cinema, where we were met by another two schools. The cinema was just about filled as we all gathered to our seats. We met Orla again, and she explained that she will tell us what sort of packaging we should use. This was a great help to my group and I as we had no idea what way to give our Cra8 Colours to customers.

    After a few videos, and a whole lop of listening to Orla, we were finally finished and were allowed go to get something to eat in Newbridge Shopping Centre. Rosie, Ciara, Elaine and I went shopping firstly and we all picked up an ice-cream before heading back tot he bus. We were back in school in time for our last two classes, which we all hated, as they dragged on.

    On Monday, our history teacher Ms McGrath had organised for Elaine, Aisling, Meadbh and I to go in a give a quick preview to two third year classes. We were all dreading this as we knew how much hassle the third years are. 

    At our 9:45 class, we all went to be registered and headed fir Mr. O'Callaghan's class. I went in first and all I could see was nearly 60 beady little eyes staring at me. I felt myself die inside. Aisling set up the slideshow while Elaine and I handed out our pre-made sheets. 

   We quickly ran through the power-point and out them into small groups for a quiz. This went really well, as  they were quite and waited patiently for everyone else to complete the task given and for us to correct it. We also handed them a small packet of sweet, in order to praise them for their attention and hard work.

    We then repeated this process for our 11:20 class, and again it went grand! We were all so glad that we got it all done and over with that day, instead of it dragging on and having to change things around.
