''Pick Tubby!''

Yesterday all TY's went to Mullingar for a drama competition. The last time I blogged our play was about a war, wow did that change! With four days to go, our group decided to change our play totally but I think it was definitely for the best.
Our play was based around the poem Tich Miller by Wendy Cope. Click here for a link to read the poem. Everyone really got into character and I think it went pretty well! The poem deals with the theme of bullying which was portrayed well. I was a bully in the play and in case you're wondering the title of this blog is a line I had to say!
The three other plays from our school were really good, even though I didn't get to see them because my group were last to perform.

Well done everyone!

English Play...

In English we're in the middle of practising our drama for a competition thats taking place next week. It called the Briary Gap competition and its on in Mullingar :) My groups drama is about a war. Although we've had a good few problems and things its finally coming together..
We've changed our storyline a few times which slowed us down a good bit but I'm pretty sure we have our final storyline now!
Next Tuesday we're going to Mullingar and lets hope it all goes to plan!

Super Euro's

As I've already said a while ago, I'm part of the school bank team. We've set up the bank in the school and we're getting members pretty quickly! During the Christmas we spent a day organising how to promote the bank around the school and how to get members to join. We have some great ideas for members to take part in. At the moment we're giving a lollypop to everyone who brings their application form back. But there will be many more promotions throughout the year.
1st and 2nd years are our target market and after talking to first years yesterday, there are a lot more people interested!
The regional competition takes place sometime in February or March I think so that'll be good :)

We've set up a blog for our bank and when I know the link to it, i'll post it here. I can't remember it right now... But on the blog we're going to post all the latest news and competitions in relation to the bank :)

Back to reality...

So Christmas Holidays are now over and we're back into our TY routine! This morning I was so tired I didn't think I would be able to get through the day.
Christmas was great even though there was no snow this year! The three weeks went way to quickly...

On Friday all TY's along with 2nd years are going to the Young Scientists Competition in the RDS. There's 4 groups from TY taking part in the competition so it'll be good to see how they all do! I remember going in 2nd year and it was such a great day with lots of free stuff! :)
