The Fashion Show

Yesteraday was the last day of the fashion show. After all the preperations everyone made it is over. The show was on both Tuesdasy and Wednesday and I really enjoyed it. It was in the Celbridge Manor Hotel
I had to go down both days to sell my mini-company jars and I also had to take pictures for the end of the year.
As well as the models there was also great acts that include:
The glee club, the choir, a group of TYs performing a song, modern dancers, ballet dancers, irish dancers and the teachers dancing.
Lots of shops gave clothes for the students to model. They also got boys from the local boys school to model and the teachers modeled as well. There was also debs dresses being modeled, wedding dresses and there was also a past pupil named Ruth Doyle who designed her own clothes which were being modeled.
The two nights were a great success and there will hopefully be another fashion show while im still in the school.

Vanishing Art

Yesterday all of the TYs went to carton house for the vanishing art exhibition.
It was really fun and we saw lots of pieces that were very interesting. The exhibition had lots of different types of art, from paintings on the wall to a purple dinosaur sculpture. The exhibition was both outside and inside. My favourite piece was a sculpture of a dress, it was called Dress Series by Helen Walshe.
The sculptures were all very different from eachother, there was even a sculpture that was in the water. When we were going around looking at the sculptures the Irish rugby team was in the gym and we aslo saw them and some people got pictures with them.
Overall it was a very fun day and I really enjoyed the trip.

Fashoin Show

There will be a fashion show in the Celbridge Manor Hotel on the 25th and 26th and I am very excited. They picked models from all the years out of a hat and there will also be dances and music for entertainment. I can't wait for the tickets to go on sale as I really want to see it.
Our mini-companies are also selling there so im excited to finally start selling. My mini-company is Jolly Jars, they are decorations that we are making with jars that will have a candle in them.

Road Safety Talk

Today we had a road safety talk. The talk was very interesting and although it made me scared about cars, I learned a lot. The guards showed us videos of road accidents caused by drunk driving or even tiredness. They also had statistics about the amount of deaths from road accident, which have gone down over the years.
They showed us videos that were taken by garda cars that shows cars speeding or making mistakes while driving.
 They also showed us a video about a woman talking about her daughter who got into a car with a drunk person driving and the car crashed and she died. She thought it wouldn't happen to her and she didn't wear a seatbelt. She had also had something to drink so it clouded her judgement and she got into a car with someone who was drunk.
The guards also told us stories about reckless driving and also pedestrians who walk out in front of cars.
The talk was very interesting and although it was on a sad topic it is good to know as we will be starting to learn to drive soon.
