Super€uros in the National Final..

One of the main things I took part in this year was The Build A Bank Challenge. I was happy to be chosen but I never expected to get as much out of it as I did!

After winning the regional finals Super€uros bank headed off to the National Finals in the RDS on Wednesday 25th April. We were all pretty nervous as we had no idea what to expect. Once we arrived we got into our costumes and the plan for the day was told to us. First we had time in the 'Chill Out Zone.' This consisted of a silent disco (fun fun fun!) , GAA skills challenge, air hockey, giant chess boards and loads of other games :) Spin 1038 were also there so we got chatting to the spini's.
Then...it was time for our judging. We had a 20 minute interview with two judges in our own 'pod.' We all agreed it went pretty well and we were happy with it! Once the judging was over we could relax for a while! We got a full dinner which was so nice :) And after an exhibition of all the banks posters it was time for the results ceremony....

There was one person EVERYONE was excited to see...BRESSIE! The opening was loads of crazy dancers and people swinging from the roof. It was great and then Bressie arrived :) He did a really good job and got the crowd going. He announced the top 6 banks and unfortunately we weren't one of them. We were disappointed at first but we were delighted to get in the top 20 out of 200 banks which entered!

Our disappointment soon disappeared when the curtains lifted and Bressie did a small concert for us :) He performed about 8 songs and theres a small video clip of some of them at the end of this post! It was so great!
We then all got presented with plaques for winning the regional finals and well we were all just delight to get to go on stage and get a picture with Bressie ... even after he told us our school sounded posh and 'like something out of Harry Potter' haha :)

Overall it was a brilliant day and by far, i'd say the best day in TY :) I'm so happy to have gotten the chance to be a part of the bank and get to know my fellow bankers so well! We've all gotten so close and had so many laughs :) We couldn't done half of it without Ms.McM who was been so so supportive and helpful in everything we did!

Heres some pic's and a video from the day:

Sorry for the bad quality and unsteady hand but you get an idea of the atmosphere and stuff ! :)
