Bag Packing!

When I heard the opportunity to bag pack for the Irish Cancer Society, I jumped at it! The girls who organised it did a great job as what I saw when I was there was that it ran smoothly. I got the bus into Celbridge and then walked from the village to Tesco's. I was on the slot from 2-4. I had a great time doing it as many people were very nice and let us pack their bags. We also spent a half an hour selling raffle tickets and badges. We first sat down but we found that people didn't come over,so instead we stood up at the front of the entrance. And then we got lots of customers, and we sold lots of tickets. I liked this part of selling as it was fun and funny how people pretended not to hear you when they walked by. I felt really happy after helping out that day and it felt like I had done my good deed for the day. :) 

Fashion Show

The fashion show was on Friday and everyone was nervous but still so excited for it! We had our dress ready weeks before the show , so we thought we were prepared until when we were getting ready for the show we noticed we need a few items as our dress was not staying together. Thanks to quick thinking, we ran to reception and got a stapler! it saved the day! We had great fun getting our model ready, we did her hair,makeup and prepared our mood board, music and speech. Everyones dresses were amazing. I found it amazing how they were just a shirt and jeans a few weeks ago. All the models strutted there stuff on the catwalk and then we waited for the results. I didn't expect to win anything so when our groups name was called out I was shocked. As I thought our dress didn't look near as good as the other dresses. But I was also so surprised when one of our teachers said that our dress was her favorite!! I was so proud of our team afterwards and we then split out the chocolates evenly. The show was amazing even though I was disappointed for the teams that didn't win anything as before the shows I picked three teams that I thought would win but in the end none of them won anything!!! Overall it was a great day and it was an event that made me love being in TY even  more :)

Snow days!!

On Monday, we were back to school from 4 days off . The snow was amazing! I love snow and when I see it I feel like a five year old! The snow was constantly pouring down over the week and soon the place became a winter wonderland.The snow was so thick that when I walked through it my foot sunk deeply down. The snow was so fluffy too and I took lots of pictures as I never want to forget I thought we were never going to see the green grass again. I made a snow man and had several snowball fights. I was frozen in about two minutes of being outside but it was all worth it. I enjoyed all the days we had off school as the roads and path we so dangerous that I wouldn't have liked to go to school anyway.
