Eagles flight was a very new and interesting method of learning. We were put into groups and the objective was to get as much gold as we can out of this board game style thing. we had 20 days and all our resources are limited as well as our fuel. the objective was to see how much gold we could get as a group so team work was essencial. We had to sacrifise so that our group could go better. Our group used team work from the get go and we did the best out of all the other groups

Two people from Dell came in to talk to us about the exciting world of I.T. They told us about how many people from different academic backrounds are employed in I.T. because it is such a diverse field of work that they need many different types of people. I was very interested in this because people who work in Dell get to travel a lot and have very flexible working hours. They also told us how they are looking for new innovative people who think outside the box. This talk made me consider working in I.T. because it seemed fun and very appealing.
For my R.S.E. Project our teacher asked us to do a project of our choice on a topic of our choice we covered in class. For my project I chose to do it on Herpes. I chose Herpes because it is a growing problem without any cure and people need to be aware of the symptoms and what can be done to help. First I researched Herpes and learnt about all the symptoms. I then did a A2 poster of all the information that I knew and could find.
My expectations for TY are to develope a new sense of maturity and work ethic. I hope to achieve this by taking more responsibility for myself at home and in school. Some of my responsibilitys are completing my Gaisce and working as a porter boy in scholars pub on Sundays.
I also want to arrange dates to work with the DSPCA. They are Irelands oldest and largest animal rescue centre and I would love to work with them. I also hope to get work experience in Dublin zoo helping with animals and feeding the animals. I also set myself goals for TY. I would like to get the main part in the play and I will be disappointed if I do not get it . I also want to develope as a sport person and learn how to box and basic self defence. I have also get myself the goal of running 10km in under an hour. I am also going spain to walk 120km of the camino. I hope this walk will open me up to new experiences and to connect with other pilgrims that have walked the camino. On the 13th of September the junior cert results come out and it's also the first day of the st gerards fourth year camping trip. I was excited and nervous about the camping trip because I would not have my phone for three days but I was going to be with all friends so I knew it was going to be good fun.
On arrival at Lough Dan we were carefully told the strict rules on keeping the site clean and that all the people who work here are volunteers and that there are lots of different animals that can be harmed if we do not keep the site spotless. We all agreed and gathered our things and began setting up our tents in our groups. It's was not difficult to set up our tent and we soon had it up and all our beds and things packed into the tent. We then began to cook lunch. After lunch we went on a 5km walk which was a nice relaxing walk with a beautiful view of the lake. When we got back we cooked up dinner and sat around the campfire and it felt like we were bonding as a group. I couldn't wait for the next day. I woke up on the second day after the worst sleep of my life but I was excited about the day ahead and the 22km walk that we had to complete. We started the walk at eleven in the morning. the first 2 hours were difficult and there was not much too see. But when we reached the top of the mountain the view was spectacular. there was a full 360 degree view of the surrounding lakes and forrests. It made me feel closer to nature and more bonded as a year group. When we got back it was four o clock and the teachers said we could go for a swim which was good news to us because we were all exausted and enjoyed a refreshing swim. We then got burgers and relaxed for the rest of the day. I woke up the next day refreshed and ready to go home and tell my friends and family all i had done |
